Shape Magazine has tons of great articles & exercise advice but I saw an interesting short article in the March 2008 edition (page 166) on a study about NOT throwing away those candy wrappers. The study from Cornell University showed that people who saved the candy wrappers as a reminder of what they have eaten ate about half as many candies as those that threw the wrappers away. They used those mini candy bars in this study but you certainly can apply this to any candy/food item. It definitely makes sense to keep those wrappers out in the open so you "don't forget" what you have indulged in already! This also applied to things like buffalo wings at restaurants & items where can can have the server leave the evidence of what you have already eaten.
Give it a try. I bet you see some pounds come off from this very simple change in lifestyle patterns!!!
