  1. Might I suggest you get milled flaxseed as the body can utilize that better? And your suggestion about moderation is really good. Be moderate in all your choices and the amount you eat of them. Ignore what they advertise on TV, NEVER, EVER supersize unless you are going to share. Better yet, stay away from fast foods completely.

    1. Good point about flaxseed! And I appreciate your thoughts on supersizing – really it is the worst ploy out there, except for the business. Even choosing between small medium and large – really, we all only need the small, but medium sounds better, so we choose it. Making the CHOICE is key!

  2. Loved the list! I am always surprised when we go out for dinner (Once a week) how large the portions are…I always eat half of the meal and save the rest for lunch the next day! Healthier AND saving money…a score in my book!

    1. Yes, the portion size are astronomical, aren't they? I think about what I eat at restaurants and it is WAY more than if I eat at home. That is a GREAT idea to just eat half because then going into it, you are setting yourself up for a perfect portion without overeating! Love it and thanks for sharing!

  3. Kristin, I love this list! My fave is the part about doing gradual changes. My Awesome Wonderful just hates water! Can you believe it? :-/ Having come to the conclusion years ago that I am not his mom and I am not his food police, I am just offering lemonade–usually the real stuff, sometimes the powdery mix. But, hey, it isn't carbonated and it isn't a cola!

    One more thing. Olive Garden (probably some others as well) is offering Little Plates! OMGoodness! When we go out, we order three of those–he has two and I have one and a bite or two off one of his. It's the best, and we don't feel cheated!

    You are amazing, Kristin! Thanks for working so hard for all of us.

    1. Thanks Mary! I had to chuckle when I read that the lovely hates water! I actually do have a hard time thinking about not liking water, but I love how you have tried to just let it go, but also live with it by finding alternatives. You are a good wife Mary :). That is AWESOME about the Little Plates! I haven't heard of that! Plus, then you aren't wasting wasting by ordering uneaten food (though leftovers are the best!).

      Thank you for your encouraging words Mary! You are wonderful.
