    You'll never regret doing some exercise! Even 10 minutes. It all counts. Get moving!

    Eat with your non dominate hand. (I am right handed so I try and eat with my left.) You have to "think" harder to eat so it will slow down how fast you eat.

    i've learned from my good friend, who is a nutritionist, that there is no such thing as a "bad" food, it only becomes bad when you eat beyond the actual serving size...:wink:
    Humm, how about Starbucks Venti (20 oz.) White Chocolate Mocha with 2% milk and whipped cream, with 580 calories and 15 grams of saturated fat ( worse than a McDonald's Quarter Pounder with Cheese). Or pork rinds. Yuck. :tongue:

    Ha. Anyway, I know what you mean. "Portion control" is a great weight loss tip!

    Love and respect yourself enough to stick to the promises you make regarding your health and well-being.

    This is exactly what I believe also..."time to love myself"...enough to care about me first...getting in the exercise that makes me feel great.!!!!...enough to care about what I'm putting in my mouth...eating to repair the body, and keep it in top shape. Realizing that these habits will form themselves if I just take baby steps everyday...It WILL not happen over night but it will happen if I put the effort in everyday...we all have 10-15 minutes a day, start there and see where that takes you...for me it is usually an additional 10-15 minutes:bigsmile:

    It's all about portion control. I've also learned to eat my food slowly and drink water or diet soda when I eat. I used to eat way too fast and way too much but never really enjoyed my food before.

    Eat and drink what you like but just don't eat quite as much as you would like. It's all about energy balance.
    Also try not to eat the same foods all the time.

    Sigh. I'd not be lifting heavy things unless you are in the physical condition to be doing so. I back injury is not going to help your dieting.

    Nothing tastes as good as thin feels. I promise myself I can have anything my heart desires, just not today....I pick a day in the future, like my birthday. Once I know I can have anything on that day, I calm down, am ok, and can be good just knowing I am not deprived, and when that day comes, I will make good choices.

    Heavy is relative to the person.
    Using correct form will prevent injury.

    IMHO giving the blanket advice to "lift heavy things" is dangerous.

    Does moving one-self from point A to point B count as lifting heavy things??:sad:
