The beginning is on the way...

So I ordered Sensa, but then it came on TV with a better offer, so instead of starting, I am returning the first shipment and will wait for the second one to arrive.  In the mean time, I have started bringing my lunch and snacks to work, instead of going crazy over sweets and what not.  I have been more attentive to labels and portions.  As silly as it sounds, I eat less when larger portions are available.  I think mentally, I have myself convinced that either I will look like a pig if I eat everything, or that there is plenty, and if I am a bit hungry later I can go back.  I think it also helps that when I am full there is more than a bite or two left.  This is good because I don't feel like I HAVE to eat it since it is such a small amount.  One step at a time, one step away from victory.
