9. Having trouble losing weight

Use tricks to prevent overeating. Sometimes sneaky strategies can help pare pounds and prevent going hog wild on diet-damaging foods. Try the following tricks:

Fill up on low-calorie foods first. “Start every meal with the foods on your plate that are lowest in calories,” suggests McLaughlin. By the time you get to the other foods, you won’t be so hungry.
Change your salad dressing system. Instead of sprinkling or pouring dressing over your salad, dip your fork into a side dish of dressing and then your salad before each bite.
Take up a busy-hands hobby. If you’re idle, you’ll be more prone to eating. Keep busy with knitting, scrapbooking, crossword puzzles, or gardening.
Carry a toothbrush and toothpaste. Keep them in your purse or briefcase. When cravings hit, brushing your teeth with peppermint-flavored toothpaste will dampen your desire to eat.
Arrive fashionably late to parties. Without as much time near the buffet table, you’ll eat less.
It’s important to continue healthy eating and regular exercise even after reaching your weight-loss goal. Weight control should last a lifetime.
