Hi Heather, great tips. They reminded me of an e-book I was reading where the author gives 10 days worth of tips to try to help you to eat less. Four that stand out in my mind right now are 1) Don't eat anything that is in a box, 2) Don't eat while driving, walking, or in transit in any way, 3) Only eat in your kitchen or dining room, and 4) Only eat from a plate or a bowl.
Each of these tips is designed to be tried on a different day. After you try all 10, you pick the three that you've found help you the most.
The last one, only eat from a plate or a bowl keeps you from downing a whole bag of chips or nuts over the course of a day (of which I can do with amazing ease and grace). ;)
