Tips for WW

I have bit hte bullet and I am back on WW (weight watchers).
Many of you now that between my pregnancy with Jacob and the twins I lost 98lbs. (in about 10 months) with this program.
I had vowed not to gain so much weight with the next pregnancy, but little did I know I would be having twins. So, here I am again... needing to loose weight again.
This time around, I am doing the program on my own. With three children in diapers, and two on formula and no maternity leave pay coming in the financial scene is just not the same.

I have decided that I will post from time to time some tips that are working for me, or that others have shared work for them. As some of you have expressed the desire to shed some pouds too. I also hope this will make me feel more accountable.

Here we go:

tip #1:

Once you are done your meal or snack go brush your teeth. Even pull out the mouth wash and swish, swish it all around in there. You will love the fell and fresh taste so much that you will not want to disturb it. And how tasty is food after brushing your teeth. -yuck.

tip #2:

Drink one glass of water per hour that you are awake. This will help you keep you hydrate and able to drink all 6-8 glasses of water needed in one day. Another trick is before having that diet cola or that zero points flavoured water, make your self drink one glass of water. Or fill up a big glass, mug of water and drink the water with a straw. You will be amazed at how much more water you will drink via a straw then without. Keep your water near by you all the time.

tip # 3:

We are precious, we are not a garbage can.
Our kids leftovers go in the garbage can, not in our mouths!!!!


tip #4:

Everything and I mean everything that goes in your mouths get written down in your food log.
Because of this last week, I caught myself eating a cracker from Jacobs plate. Honestly, it was just going in, without my realizing it. Amazing.

Please pass on any of your tips to me. I would love some fresh ideas.

'till next time.
