Weight loss success

I always get the comment, "how do you stay so slim around all this food?"I really don't know. Sometimes. success comes with manageable, simple choices. Drink water instead of soda. Season your food with herbs and spices, don't be a Paula (butter) Dean. Eat regular meals, heaviest at breakfast and lunch.
You might have to change your lifestyle, to include daily exercise, meditation, and put more veggies in your diet. These choices can make a powerful difference, in your goal towards healthful living.
Take your salad dressing for example, instead of buying a store brand, make your own. When making a family salad, pour part of dressing in the bowl, and not directly on salad. Doing so, makes the salad soggy. Scoop greens over dressing and toss. Add more dressing as needed, or serve some dressing on the side.
Remember, it's not all or nothing. The more you do, the more benefit you'll experience.
Try reducing fat intake by switching to nonfat  mayo or yogurt in sandwiches and salads. Increase your consumption of grains and legumes by eating soups. Beans are a good source of fiber and protein; they have no cholesterol and are low in total fat.
