Silly mental "trick"

For me, so much of weight loss and control is mental. Well I figured out a silly little trick to help me mentally.

I had spaghetti for dinner for the first time post op. So I go to weigh out a serving of whole grain spaghetti. 2 ounces seems like such a small amount. However, if I switch the units over to grams, I get to have 56 grams! 56 is so much more than 2!

I know it's stupid, but it really made me happy.

It may sound silly, but I say if it works then do it. I think it's actually very clever!

As you aptly stated- the biggest battle when trying to lose weight is the mental one. I say do whatever works!

Sounds pretty smart to me!

Works for me! Whatever is biggest!

Sounds good to me!
