Don't sabotage weight loss efforts by falling into the trap of mindless eating. Make sure your meals are an event instead of an afterthought. Eat at the table instead of in the car or in front of the television. You'll be less likely to over-indulge and you'll enjoy yourself more. And don't let food become the answer to boredom. Keeping a food diary will help you recognize patterns when you're eating "just to eat" and not for hunger.
