Here are some suggestions you might consider while dieting:

• Eat slowly so your brain has time to acknowledge the food you eat and starts sending messages to your body that you're no longer hungry. Cut and chew each bite deliberately. Putting your fork down between bites may help you slow down. And, of course, be sure to leave the table or at least stop eating when you feel full.
• Smaller plates may help since they limit the amount of food you can put on your plate.
• Limit eating to the kitchen and dining room areas.
• Snack sensibly. Replace cookies and chips with fresh fruits and vegetables. Snacks should make contributions to a healthy diet. Remember that all calories count, so make your snacks sources of good nutrition, not empty calories.
• Avid doing something else while you eat. You can unconsciously eat too much if you nibble while watching television or while reading. Instead try working a crossword, doing needlepoint in front  of the TV or something where your hands  will be busy.
• These are just a few tips, you may made the first positive step in losing weight, by just reading this. Research, consult a doctor and if possible enlist a buddy to lose weight with.
