Today's Tip

Okay, so you "backslide" and give in to your craving for a Big Mac and fries. Here's an emergency tip to the rescue. Ask for a plastic knife. Cut the Big Mac in half, measure out half the fries, and put the half back into the bag. Then eat your half-a-burger and half-a-fry slowly, savoring every bite, and just see if that satisfies your craving. I have found that half portions when eaten slowly are very satisfying most of the time. I have used this tip and, in the process, discovered that I don't really like McDonald's hamburgers after all. (But I do still like fries, doggonnit!) If you're not full after eating half portions, eat a piece of fruit when you get home. If you're going to "backslide", you may as well be smart about it.
