[QUOTE="Jabberwockey, post: 648366, member: 18238"] So far so good on this front. Since mid November between the two of us we haven't smoked a full pack of cigarettes. Realistically, about 6 a piece is all and we haven't had one for around three weeks. Four of those were after the son's implosion that led to the apartment issue. \ I might argue that the Italians eat more than us, might, but its not just portions. I would say they eat more than us but eat healthier and lead much more active lives. Even those you see that are over weight tend to be in reasonable shape. I would love to be able to walk to the store when its just for a loaf of bread or something like that but the nearest grocery store to us is around two and a half miles away and we live in town. I've taken to walking laps at work during lunch. Walked a mile and a half yesterday in just under a half an hour. That along with my fitness pall to check how much I actually eat and drinking LOTS more water than I usually do seems to be helping. I've considered the, for lack of a better way to put it, diabetic meal approach you talked about where you have five or six meals a day but its just not practical. If nothing else, work is going to get twitchy about me trying to take two or three lunch breaks! If I had the diagnosis to back it up they wouldn't say anything, but to KEEP from getting the diagnosis they are much less sympathetic. Honestly, sticking with portion control, eating more reasonably healthy foods, getting more exercise, and getting more sleep will do the trick. [/QUOTE]
