I don't count calories at all due to an eating disorder, but here are 2 breakfasts I eat on a daily basis.

Every morning I have either oatmeal (made with 1/2 cup quick oats cooked in 1 cup water.  Before cooking I add splenda, cinnamon and soemmetimes nutmeg.  I also add whatever fruit (usually banana, strawberries or blueberries) and about a teaspoon of natural peanut butter (I never get enough fat in :/) and then cook for a couple of minutes.  When it comes out of the microwave I stir in yogurt and sometimes reheat if its too cold.)

...or I have a high fiber low carb whole wheat wrap with egg whites.  I cook egg whites, mushrooms, deli turkey or ham and sometimes green pepper and then wrap them in a wrap with a very small amount of cheese.

oatmeal

100 cal packs of kettle corn

oscar myers deli smoked turkey slices

all bran

veggies: mushrooms, zucchini, green pepper, tomatos, green beans, broccoli

coffee/tea

the cone should have 3 swirls;  if it does it is truly 150 calories.

Sometimes they make it bigger however, so if it has more than 3 swirls it is mor.e  But you can always knock some off or, as I do, have the hubby take a big bite :D

First of all I always stick with low calorie hard liquor such as vodka or rum and mix it with diet drinks.

I usually stay home and drink, so these tips are pretty much only relevent for that.  (safer than drinking/driving anyway :) )

I buy this amazing daquari/margerita mixer called Baja Bob's.  Its sugar free mix so its zero calories and still tatstes amazing.  that way you can mix margeritas with the rest of your friends or drink it on the rocks and still have something pretty and fun and tasty.

I have issues controlling mindless eating when i drink as well.  One of my solution are the 100 calorie packs of kettle corn.  Its salty, sweet, and one bag is a very big portion.  make sure to eat it one piece at a time and you can munch and munch :)

Thanks for posting this.

I am working SO HARD to work out and eat right in order to be healthy for my body type.  Ill never look like a model, and though I am slim, (5'4" 115-118 lbs) I am not built stick skinny.  I have curves, hips and thighs and butt.  Out society is celebrity and size 0 obsessed and its hard.  Im trying to focus on toning and treating my body like the temple God intended it to be and not care so much about the number on the scale.

Thanks fr the reminder.

Yes, avoid Blizzards, but Dairy queen has alot of other good things that arent too bad, especially if its a once in awhile treat.

Their soft serve cones are 150-200 calories for a child/small and even dipped they are 240-300.

Kraft fat free italian dressing is only 15 calories for two tablespoons!

However, it does have high fructose corn syrup, but its so low calorie that I still use it.
