Why is the weight loss at a stand still?

Balanced breakfast?

CheckMid-morning snack?

CheckHealthy lunch with your co-workers?

CheckPassing up your friend's homemade cookies?

CheckComing home in the evening and going on a feeding frenzy?

CHECK!!Does this sound like the bulk of your days?

You're in control, everything is going fine - until you come home starving at night and eat a large dinner, say yes to dessert (and seconds) and finish off a bag of chips before bed. What gives?

From a metabolic standpoint, there is really no reason not to eat food in the evening.

A calorie is a calorie regardless of when it is consumed.

A morning calorie is metabolized in basically the same way as an evening calorie.

However, eating in the evening is a problem for many, not because of the way food is metabolized, but because of the quantity of food that is often eaten.

Skipping meals and becoming overly hungry by evening can lead to nighttime binge eating.

Recent studies revealed that when people ate three meals a day only 13% binged.

When people skipped breakfast, 24% binged and when people skipped breakfast and lunch, 60% binged.

In general, people who spread their meals throughout the day seem to be better able to control their eating.

They are less likely to feel hungry and less likely to overeat. So by eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner and planning snacks in between, you can help yourself lose weight as well as maintain better control of your eating throughout the day and night.

Woman and the value of work.

What stands out on your resume when you offer the paper or send an email to a prospective employer.?Is it your education?Is it your experience?Is it the length of time that you have been at a certain type of job?Is it your ability to have that smile and transfer your skills in any situation?Is it your ability to get along and be part of a team environment?To answer that question I feel 'YES' to all of the above questions as all are important to the new employer.I have offered my services and it has been my experience on two different websites is the value of you work and your experience.Just as the old saying goes, "If you have no experience no one will hire you?" "Your frustrated to the fact , well if no one will hire me, How do I get the experience?"Then there is a question "How Much is your work worth?" and second "What pay scale are you using to judge your pay per hour?"The reason for these comments are first it depends on where you live and the second on the economy , as you are now competing globally for positions on the Internet.I was totally taken aback and it made me shake my head on how people were lining up to work for two dollars an hour?My first thought is why and what is the sense are you not worth more than that , does it not cost you more that price per hour to operate your computer?It was brought to my attention that in many countries in the world $2.00 USA is considered an excellent wage. Their currency is just booted to the stars for that job per hour and makes a difference in their life. It then made me think and evaluate what my rate was per hour and found that $2.00 was a given rate for data entry skills.I had a conversation with an elderly gentleman while I was his guest while he was going through the procedure of chemo therapy for advanced bone cancer. Here this gentleman was very cheerful and just sat back and did not complain in any way. He states I am just so happy I live in a country where this is offered to me free of charge and I am able to continue living in my own home at 95 years old.We talked about prices of food and housing and wages and it was amazing on his points of view and reminded me of how fortunate we are in life. He states he remembers working a full day picking apples in an orchard as a boy of 16 and living on the farm during the depression. He would ride his bike several miles to the farm of a neighbour to help with chores. He says his pay would be $1 a day. The dollar would be given to parents to help keep the farm and buy groceries at the local store. He says he remembers taking a load of wheat to mill and to manually grind he wheat so that his Mother would have flour. What he does say he remembers that families helped each other through tough times and worked together.His job after enlisting in what he says as the "War Effort" during the WW2 that he learned skills to be in the office and his job was government supply in the Ware house. He was responsible for locating and looking after a large inventory of items. He says with good will when items were short he was able to trade with other bases .After the war he worked in financial services and worked until the age of 88 years old and "Says you know its with customer service that I supported my wife and family." I made a living even when times were tough, I made it my job to know my customer." " I would make sure I had something to offer when I went to visit a client often over the kitchen table" " A gift or incentive or discount would help in the transaction many times." " He says besides my charm , I knew my products and what a person could afford per month."So today the world has not changed that much , the value of knowing your product and your customer will help you build your business even in these economic times.Join me on face book on "Customer Service with a smile"http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=694111046&ref=profile#/group.php?gid=60326179728Join our Community and share your passions and visions with others http://www.busy-mom.com/Check out the interesting questions on http://www.preciousbabysite.com/Join us on twitter http://www.twitter.com/attnbusymomshttp://www.twitter.com/OurPreciousBabyhttp://www.twitter.com/Avahosting

Customer Service with a smile

Hello My name is Nancy Macdonald I am a self employed virtual customer service Agent representing Companies by phone or text chat or email.
Customer service is the backbone of any Company as without the customer there is no sales of any kind for your product or skills.
A good customer service assistant will do two things to ensure that the customer is treated with respect and loyalty. No matter what the call is concerning you are polite and listen to the customer, then validate the problem and find a solution that works.
If the item purchased was late in delivery or not correct or the instructions to hard to understand, then it is up to the agent to help.
To help by offering an apology to the customer and listen to how they feel even if the customer becomes very angry. By diffusing the situation and saying I understand the way you feel and I will give this my prime attention , this helps.
By word of mouth of great customer service you have done two things, kept a customer happy and second he will be your buzz agent.
What I mean by buzz agent he will tell his friends and co workers and family about first what happened and second what the agent did to help.
It might have been a refund or discount or a return of the item or extended service or connecting with dept that handles the product information. By taking small steps you have provided the best selling point for the company.
Not everyone can be a great representative , you must have patience and the skills to listen and then act in a calm manner at all times.
A company large and small will always need that friendly voice to answer the phone or connect with the customer virtually by mail or text chat.
The skills are very open ended on what your tasks might be such as contacting the customer concerning updating his existing product, or up selling him to a similar products of his needs. Calling a customer to update his records and profile to his location and phone and his current email address.
A job involving spreading the word about an up coming sale for members only offering a special discount to preferred customers. By making your customer feel special your customer will be loyal to you.
Your position might be involved with informing future customers on the Internet about the products and services and providing data entry .
In these economic times and downsizing the need to promote and maintain a customer or future prospect is an absolute number assets to keep any business afloat .
I provide such a service and very proud that marketing has provided the skills need to enjoy a weekly pay cheque.
At the end of each day I am satisfied and what I am able to accomplish each and every day as you never stop learning.
Social networking and connecting with like minded people is not a waste of time , it is a source of connections with people.
We empower each other when we share abilities and skills and give back to others of what you have learned.
