Create an Environment for Success

As the television season premiere week is in full swing, this time of year is hard for me to keep bad behaviors from resurfacing. I used to watch all the network nightly shows with a big bag of potato chips in my hand. In order to avoid this, I got rid of all the potato chips in the house and forbid anyone in my household to bring them in. Now I slice up cucumbers, put Morton's light salt all over them and cruch on those instead. If you are struggling with old behaviors, I found some great tips that will help you make it to your weight loss goal:

  • If you want to eat better, rid your cupboards of tempting foods and keep healthy snacks on hand.
  • To exercise more, make sure your workout gear is always clean and put it where you can see it.
  • To facilitate self-monitoring, keep a journal and pens readily available.
  • Find people to share your experiences with. Look for other opportunities, such as enlisting a friend for regular walks or trips to the gym.
