Step 1: Hold the Fries

This simple step kickstarted my whole process. I'm not ever starving. I don't need the fries. Think of the last time you went out for burgers with a group of people. You can bet fries will be thrown away! Don't order them!

My policy was: I won't order them. I'll try to not touch them. And if my kids leave any (which they will), and I feel like it, I might pick on a few. There's no sense in torturing myself.

Result

By not ordering fries there has been more money in my pocket, less food wasted, and I'm eating less food that I didn't need to begin with.

Keep in mind that I'm not saying that you shouldn't eat fries. For me it was realizing that I could stop eating something that I didn't need to eat in the first place.

I was already weighing myself every day and I didn't notice a big change. But after a month I had dropped almost four pounds. A measurement error? Perhaps. Got a new scale with a digital gauge.
