JP's cheats...I mean tips for dieting.

1. If it isn't from your plate, the calories do not count.

2. If you use someone else's fork, it is like you never really ate it.

3. Anything you munch on while cooking, doesn't count towards your daily food intake.

4. Take 2-3 big bites of food before you serve it. That way it looks like you are only having a modest-sized portion. Plus, those secret bites are like they never happened.

5. If you are sneaking a bite of something (ie ice cream etc.) put as much on one spoon as you can. That way you can say, "I only had one bite," and feel good about yourself.

6. If you freeze your food, it has no calories (haha jk, had to throw that one in. One of my sister's friends actually believe that).

7. If you eat something bad (ie chips) really fast with no one looking, you can pretend that it never happened.

8. Always have a few bites of your boyfriend's food after finishing yours. It will fill you up more and those extra bites are like you never ate them. (This also works when your boyfriend is eating something delicious and unhealthy and you need to satisfy your craving.)

Just a few tricks to help you get through your diets, friends!
