    1 is my hardest but I'm replacing those things with Luna bars and light air popped pop corn. Thanks for sharing.

    1. Eat slowly
    2. Drink lots of water
    3. Buy more vegetables and fruits to eat and sneak them into every meal.
    4. Don't put all your calories into one or two meals... divide them up and eat all the time!

    I have the worst time with 1 and 2!!!

    the one I usually can't do is "leave a little on the plate." but prolly cuz i measure and plan, and then i would have to recalculate all my damned calories....LOL

    here's another one for you, before a meal, drink say, 4 oz of cold water. (doesn't make you feel all bloaty, but reduces your hunger a bit.)

    I cant stop smoking! it is terrible I need to quit but cant do it.... il go for a 10km run then have a ciggie straight after! im been super healthy that aside!

    smoking is harder than food for me to give up

    I would have the hardest time with number 4 I was taught growing up to eat everything you put on your plate or anything that is put in front of you so this is def. a hard one for me this is why I've cut down on going out to eat and eating at home more where I can control the portions that go on my plate.

    I quit smoking cold turkey 2 years and 4 months ago after smoking for 26 years. I think it's mind over matter.

    I don't normally leave anything on the plate because I measure and weigh out every single calorie and I want to eat them! LOL

    4 and 5 are my hardest. :( I can't stand wasting food so I just have to do my best not putting too much on there to begin with, and I always find myself picking at my toddlers leftovers! :( Anddd I'm really bad about late night snacking.

    The hardest one for me is #1. I love my junk food, but just cut down on the portions and make sure they fit into my calorie goal. I quit smoking 6 and a half years ago and I try not to eat after 8:30pm. The others are not a problem!

    1. Don't go shopping when you are hungry.
    2. Don't have junk food in the house, and you won't be tempted
    3. Have a good healthy food plan that is easy to shop for.
    4. Train yourself to have self control.
    5. It's OK to have an occasional cheat day, as long as you keep it under control.

    I quit 5 days ago and feel great - had a few cravings but i just kept in my mind why i wanted to give up smoking - i am quite grouchy but i dont care

    I can't go without junk food. I try to live by all things in moderation.

    Number 4 here is the answer for me - i cant just have one cheat day as it turns into more - it's all or nothing for me
