Mind – Decide to forgive or tell someone that you love and appreciate them. Holding unto feelings and emotions can change our eating and exercise habits. Choose to forgive someone that you may have been holding resentment or anger against. Also open up and tell the people that are important to you how you feel about your relationship.

Sometimes we hold people accountable for how they make us feel; now it’s time for us to regain control over our lives. Be the watcher of your thoughts and emotions. Often how we eat and exercise is because of emotions that we are holding onto.
