Come Friday

Hi Jules, Wow, I feel like I am treading on a minefield, even thinking of responding to any woman's post about dieting. Some guys never learn, huh?

Just wanted to say, I sympathize! I'm trying to shed a few extra pounds myself right now, more through cranking up the exercise routine than by eating less (a nice idea, we'll see if that works!) Even so, the extra activity has me wandering around half the time ready to gnaw on anything in sight - have to avoid making stupid food choices just because "That donut was the first thing I saw after spending two hours listening to my stomach growling!"

My best advice from the LAST time I went through this is: drink lots of water. It helps you feel full, and it also is good for you! (Sometimes, I'll get some of those liters of flavored fizzy water from the grocery so I can fool myself into believing it's a treat and not just calorie-free expensive nothingness.)

Good luck!
