I love my apple slicer! I seriously did not like eating apples unless they had been sliced. I eat a lot of them now.
My measuring cups.
My food scale.
My supportive friends.
My water bottle which has a way to keep track of many I have had throughout the day.

    There's lots of bits and pieces (runkeeper, good shoes, panadol.... etc) but if I had to pick just two....
    - MPF
    - Persistance.

    Without them I'd still be 20kg heavier.

    Listening to my body; I eat when my body starts to feel HUNGRY, and not according to the clock.
    Drinking water,water,water....I drink 32 Oz. of water before 2 meals & there I've reached my goal of 64 Oz. for the day!
    And also TEA in between meals, because thirst can mimic hunger signals; and before bed because Herbal tea is proven
    to help you fall asleep.
