What small changes made a BIG difference?

Making myself snack. I used to not eat until I was hangry! Then ate it all. It’s better for me to eat regular meals, and snack if I can’t have a full meal.
Allow myself to overeat occasionally without guilt. If you lose weight 9 out of 10 days and stay the same 1 out of 10 days, you’re still losing. It’s all good!

For me, everything is about habit forming. Turn actions that need motivation early on into things that you eventually just do naturally. And I find that a lot easier if I start the morning right, which actually starts the night before. No computer after 9, in bed around 10, so I get up early enough. I do that, I just naturally want to do a little activity, whether it's a walk, a swim, or just doing housework, before breakfast and leaving for work. But I feel like the day is starting on the right note.

The biggest small change for me was eating actual meals. Left to my own devices, I'll snack all day long and never eat something that resembles a substantive meal. That would be fine if I was snacking on nutritious foods, but nope - Doritos and ice cream were my favorites. Now that I've started to focus on eating at least two real meals a day at lunch and dinner, I find that I'm much more satiated than I ever was with my constant grazing. I still eat ice cream, I just eat a little bit of it after dinner instead, as it's intended to be served!
