More
Today is SparkPeople Shout-Out Day, so like a good little lemming, I tout and brag and pronounce SparkPeople to the masses. Yay.
Seriously, though, it’s been helpful. There are pros and cons over Weight Whatchamacallit. Free v. non-free, fiber counteracts some of the calories, etc. But overall, I’m using a lot of WW ideas and tracking via Spark. I like the articles on Spark better because they are written without much care to promoting any particular products, and mention actual real things I encounter in the real world of grocery stores and fast food with or with a TM next to the name.
If it helps you attain your goal, then it is a useful tool. If it doesn’t, then it’s not. Pure and simple.
Which brings me to more: More is usually what I want of ANYTHING that tastes delicious. It is a rare thing which I say, “one more bite of that and I’ll hate it forever.” Some friends have a saying in their family: “That tastes like more.” Mmmmm. Yes it does! And this small turn of phrase has helped me recognize that I want to eat more, that it’s time to stop, and that if I stop now, I can have “more” later.
I love finding little tricks of language that trigger a positive change.
