I think the biggest problem a lot of people have is not serving
an exact amount of food for a meal.. no seconds allowed!

When I was spending winters with my mother, she tended to feed
me more than I serve myself at home so I'd gain as much as about
10 pounds over the winter, but then I'd lose it again once I was
back at my place, more active in summer and controling my own food.

BTW.. that extra 10 lbs still put me way down near the lower limit
of the recomended BMI numbers for my age and height. Most of the
time I am probably slightly below the minimum but those numbers
are just a guide anyways. As I mentioned, the best way to tell if
you need to lose weight or not is a mirror, not a scale. If you
have very much loose fat then you maybe should lose a little of it.
