I EAT TO MUCH. its that plain and simple.. i dont indulge in stuff like cookies and candy.. i maybe drink a soda once a week.. i dont eat bags of chips and on and on.. i eat good for you food.. salads, veggies, meat.. its not what i eat.. its how much.. so i am trying to teach myself some new habits..when i quit smoking i didnt drink my coffee at the kitchen table.. i cleared the table and cleaned up after meals.. all to change the way i did things.. now im working on eating breakfast in the morning shortly after i get up.. no matter how i feel.. and im doing things in baby steps.. its to hard just to do everytthing all at once.. this is a link to an interesting article about habits.. ezinearticles.com/ ... and flylady.com.. she has good ideas for setting goals and making new habits.. im trying one baby step at a time..
