Brown Bagging It ... On Your Day Off

From a message board:

"I struggle with eating too much on my days off but I found I can control it when I use the 'brown bag' approach. I organize all my snacks and lunch as I would if I were going to be taking them to work. I put them in bags and I write it down in my journal before I even eat it. And then I don't eat anything that isn't in the bag.

It's a perfect solution for me. On work days I always do really well because I only eat what I brought with me. On days I stay at home I tend to do a lot of grazing. If I pre-plan by writing down what I'm going to eat ahead of time, then choose, measure out, and bag my food (or plastic wrap it, or whatever it takes to store a particular food), I'm a lot more likely to stay within my points prior to dinner."
