Emotional

emotional eating is what causes me to overeat every single time. Sad = eat a bag of chips. I've found that exercise is the answer to this because it makes me feel like I have control over my emotions.

Rule one: don't keep big bags of chips in the house if you're going to eat them all at once.

Rule two: Eat a small bag of chips once in a while if you have a bad craving

Rule three: Don't beat yourself up over rule two

Exercise is key to weight control.

exercise = being able to eat more
exercise = not sitting around thinking about eating
exercise = "feel good" chemicals in the brain = not feeling so sad
exercise = better fitness level
exercise = success
