My biggest one is logging food before I eat it

Tom Venuto wrote something that stuck with me. "there are no neutral choices. everything you eat either puts you towards your goal or farther away from it"

Kind of similar to yours... PLANNING AHEAD!!!

Also, when I'm in the middle of a cardio session, realizing that I can indeed keep going, that I'm not passing out or falling off the machine, keeps me going.

Entering before I eat is my biggest help too!

I convince myself to love myself. And then ask myself: "Do I love me enough to eat right & exercise?" The answer is always yes. The end result is worth more than pain (or inconvenience) of today. :happy:

I love being able to log some excersise! So when I feel like I don't want to do anything that day I think "well but I want to log something so I HAVE to" it keeps me motivated :-) plus I can then eat a little more!

Hot sauce on everything.
I know, super high in sodium, but it forces me to drink more water--which then just ends up filling me up!

I'm a huge fan of logging everything before I eat it and pre-planning my meals

Chewing thoroughly. I like to make a game of everything, so I try to chew each bite at least 32 times to truly taste my food and to make sure everything is easier to digest.

I started putting my fork down between bites. It slows me down as well

I try to log before I eat also, I love having a plan! I also have a written calendar for my workouts to plan ahead.
