    I've got a few. No junk food, no processed food, no sugary drinks, eat lean meats, unless special occasion no alcohol, walk if possible.

    That's all I can think of for now. Also, eat a tonne of vegetables.

    Not exactly a rule, more like an awareness that has gradually come on over the past several years of life, and the stuff that I have made it thru. These 2 realizations apply to every challenge in my life, not just weight loss.

    1. Grow up and accept responsibility for my life. Where I am now, good or bad, is due to either an action on my part, or a reaction on my part. I may not have complete control over everything that happens in my life, but I do have control over how I respond to them. If I don't like something about my life, I have the power to either change it if possible, or to change my attitude towards it, if not possible. I cannot blame others for my choices. I cannot blame circumstances for failure.

    and

    2. Life is not fair. I cannot compare my life and my situation to others. I play the hand I am dealt. I may have to work harder and eat less than some others to reach my weight and health goals, but I WILL reach them if I continue to make the right choices for ME.

    No pity parties allowed- JUST DO IT!

    As much as I honestly hate to admit this ... no more alcohol. It makes me make bad choices!

    I love this! It makes me make bad choices too, usually in the form of a greasy cheeseburger and fries.

    If you won't be satisfied with an apple then you're not hungry; you're experiencing a craving. c:

    I also abide by the quote "Either YOU run the day or the day runs you!", as well as "Complaining is stupid. Either act or forget." ^^
