Simple but EFFECTIVE!

If losing and maintaing a healthy weight is your goal, purchase a FOOD SCALE!  I picked one up at Walmart for around twenty dollars.  I like digital but it doesn't have to be digital.  Sound like a chore?  Trust me, do it a few times and you will really start to enjoy it!  It is amazing to see how little, or how big, a serving actually is!  It is a very effective tool in losing, and maintaining, your weight.  Don't forget to combine this with your food journal!  Journal, Journal, Journal!
