Be aware of your home environment

 


What foods do you find stimulate you to eat?

Feel your fullness sounds simple—a ‘no brainer,’ right? Intuitive, one might say. For some people, eating just to the point where they feel full is an unconscious habit and they cannot imagine doing otherwise.

Beyond The Scale – Motivating Ways to Measure Your Progress

Once you determine what your real goals are, you may need more then just the number on your bathroom scale to measure how close you are moving in the right direction to your real goals.
