Feeed your body right: she never leaves home without her butter sprayHow can you lose 100 pounds on a 1,200-calorie-a-day diet and still enjoy going out to restaurants? Carry butter spray and fat-free salad dressing in your purse. That's what Alayne Gunto of Moundsville, West Virginia, did when she became determined to whittle her 242-pound figure. Alayne comes from a family with a history of weight problems. While she tried on and off to slim down, she was never really successful. Then her mother, father, and grandmother all had heart surgery within months of each other. That was the wake-up call Alayne needed. She decided to lose weight because, as she says, "I didn't want to put my husband and children through that experience." Alayne put herself on a strict 1,200-calorie-a-day eating plan. She paid attention to what and how much she ate, something she had never done before. She kept close tabs on her portion sizes by reading food labels and using measuring cups. She started eating breakfast every day but quit her habit of munching on high-fat snacks. To bolster her resolve, she joined TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly), where she participated in regular weigh-ins. All of these strategies helped Alayne hold course on her self-styled weight-loss program. But there is one trick in particular that she says has kept her from blowing her calorie and fat budget. "I like to eat out, but I want to know exactly what's going into my mouth," she explains. "I don't want to leave it up to the restaurant to tell me I'm eating low-fat. I don't necessarily believe their advertising. So I order my salads and baked potatoes plain. I just open my purse and dress them myself." Alayne's strategy worked. Within 15 months of starting her weight-loss program, which included daily walks, she reached her goal weight of 145 pounds. She has maintained this weight for 2 years. These days, just looking in the mirror is incentive enough for Alayne, a 34-year-old homemaker, to keep her eating and exercise habits on track. And although she admits to occasionally going over her fat and calorie budget, she never goes to a restaurant without her condiments. WINNING ACTION Stick with your own low-fat or no-fat condiments. Salad dressing and butter pack a lot of calories for the little room that they take up. Take a tip from Alayne and pack your own when going to restaurants. These travel particularly well: Marzetti's fat-free salad dressing, available in packets at the supermarket salad counter, and I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray. *49\89\8* Weight Loss «Mexican Online Pharmacy»  PrintViewed: 221
