1. Put away the (food) scale
"Portion control isn't about measuring; it's about ordering two appetizers instead of an entrée and cutting back on bread if you have pasta.
2.Stash fruit
"Keep fruit at work. It helps during the I-need-chocolate part of the afternoon."
3. Shake chocolate
"When I'm trying to drop a few pounds, I carry around a shaker cup of chocolate protein powder. If I'm ravenous, I add the water, and it fills me up so I don't eat something high-calorie instead."
4. Set limits, then go nuts!
"In the cafeteria I use a 4-by-4-inch Styrofoam box, and I put whatever I want in there. It's almost impossible to overeat."
5. Floss for dessert
"Brushing my teeth after dinner makes me less likely to eat again before I go to bed."
6. Take a 'before' photo
"Before I got in shape, a friend convinced me to take photos of myself wearing nothing but a sports bra and underwear. Anytime I fall off the wagon I look at those pics—that's all the motivation I need!
7. Avoid liquid calories
"Cut out drinks with calories—juice, lemonade, and, hardest of all, after-work wine."
8. Break out the skinny jeans
"Wear something tight! It provides the extra bit of motivation to lay off the fries."
9. Pitcher this
"Fill a pitcher with water and cucumbers. It's pretty—and it feels like a treat
10. Set aside leftovers
"Serve yourself, then immediately pack the leftovers in a Tupperware container and store in the fridge."
