    1. Walking to and from work every day, rain or shine, instead of driving (2.5 miles each way).
    2. Counting calories and understanding my body's nutritional needs.
    3. Workout DVDs available on Netflix Watch Now, and then Jillian Michael's DVDs when those became too easy.
    4. No longer going out to eat (except on special occasions).
    5. Taking the time to pack my meals and snacks the night before and being sure to eat something small every 2-3 hours.

    1. Realizing it is a lifestyle and not a diet.
    2. Starting to exercise.
    3. Learning that Rome wasn't built in a day... what took me 20 years to build wasn't going to magically disappear while I slept.
    4. Setting a time limited Goal... in my case, I committed to run a marathon 12 months after I started.
    5. Support system.

    6. Bought a treadmill and placed it somewhere I couldn't ignore it.
    7. Felt like I had a heart attack and knew I needed change or I would die.
    8. Being called Fat by my own children and being told they were embarrassed by me.
    9. Public Humiliation at Disney World in being recognized for my "Wisdom" on stage.
    10. Wanting to see my children grow up.

    Sadly... I can go on.

    MFP is a given

    1. Education - Making the effort to educate myself about nutrition, fitness and health through MFP, scientific sources, etc. so that I can make informed decisions about what is best for me.
    2. Scheduling - Eating on schedule and the correct amount of food, regardless of "hunger"
    3. Planning - Planning meals and snacks and thinking ahead about what food choices I will make
    4. Developing a healthy relationship with food - there is no "bad" or off-limits food, just as there is nothing that I MUST eat. Refusing to let food have power over me. I have the power, I make the choices. I eat whatever I want, and recognize that for some things the cost will be higher than for something else - and I determine whether that cost is worth it or not and make a conscious choice.
    5. Habits - Figuring out what strategies I can live with long term. Changing a behavior means nothing if it's not something that I can physically AND mentally choose to do on a regular basis. Some are harder than others, but ultimately it's about sustainability.
