Do Something Friday - ... 1-Click Ordering


Amazon makes it easy to order their stuff online. Once you have done it the first time (assuming you can remember your password) you can check out with 1-Click ordering. No brainer -- all you need to do is decide what you want and then... one click and it's done. Whether it's something you need or an impulse buy -- you are more likely to purchase it because there are fewer steps to making it happen.

If I had to pick a 1-Click weight loss idea for this weekend here it is:

One salad-sized plate of food at each meal. That's it. No seconds. You can fill your smaller sized plate however you want but when it is gone, you're done eating.

That eliminates the option of picking at the dishes as they are sitting on the table. No quick forkfuls as you're filling the plate. No leftovers as you're clearing. Just what's on your plate.

With that, you have fewer decisions to make. You have committed ahead of time to the idea of eating this much and only this much.

You have made it easier on yourself by limiting the option of having other decisions to make.

Put the small plates on the top of the stack when you get home. Use only those this weekend. Learn how that amount of food feels.
