Ever catch yourself mindlessly snacking while watching TV and realizing you just ate half a bag of chips? Or after a couple of "just a taste" spoon fulls of ice cream, bites of cake, or quarters of cookie you realize you probably ate about 3 full servings? Or while you're making dinner you figure out you probably ate a full serving of whatever you were making, before dinner was even finished? Adding up the calories from this mindless munching can be shocking, and can add an extra 500 calories on to you daily total. This may not feel as if you're overeating because you're not stuffing yourself full at meals, but it can be just as detrimental to your weight loss goals.
Keeping eating down to only your designated meals and snacks can have a huge effect without feeling like a 'diet.' Build up a little bit of will power and get used to saving your calories for your meals and you'll be much more satisfied with your entire day, instead of for the few moments your mouth is happy while ingesting empty, useless calories.

Your blog will be my new bible! I will come here, read feel bad about everything I ate that day and immediately start running in place.
