We ate a lot of Tex-Mex, started ordering chicken soup instead of enchilada plates.
Skipped breakfast doughnuts. Skipped pie and cake.
Didn't add sugar or flavoring to coffee. Replaced all sugary drinks with water.
Did 'quantified self'; every morning weighed myself in the bathroom and sequentially wrote my weight on the mirror with a dry-erase marker.
- itake 8y ago+1 to drinking more water (or tea!). Also talk with HR or who ever is buying the food to see if they can order more healthier choices.

- edasaur 8y agoyes +1 to more water. Staying hydrated is really important too. I drink from 18 to 21 Oz of water per hour. Also, every time I'm in the kitchen and I want something, I ask myself if I am really hungry or just have a random craving
