2. Eat salads and/or vegetables with every meal. You don't have to buy low fat dressing, just cut down on the amount of dressing you put on your salads.

4. Eat baked potatoes. It makes you feel fuller through meals but eat a small one. If you love butter, only add a very small amount.

6. Buy 100% fruit juice. My preference is Ocean Spray Cran-Grape.

Good points, but a couple of comments (from the queen of dieting information with no willpower! LOL)

A good way to get the creamy fattening dressing that you love is to get it on the side, then dip your fork in the dressing first, then spear your salad. That way you gett a bit of dressing with each bite, but fewer calories!

I can't believe is not butter makes this butter tasting spray that's actually quite tasty.

Ocean Spray Cran Grape is NOT 100% fruit juice. It has a lot of extra sugar in it. As a matter of fact, your suggestion about fruit was much better. It is better to eat an orange (because it had fiber) than to drink a glass of orange juice. Northern makes 100% Cran-Grape juice, but be forewarned, it is going to be bitter after the Ocean Spray because Ocean Spray adds so much sugar to theirs. TO help me, I add apple juice to the Northern.

Otherwise, great suggestions!!
