Ease Your Way to Weight Loss Success
The most dramatic changes don't need to be made all at once when it comes to weight loss. Actually, making small changes create momentum. By building on small changes, that momentum carries over and propels you to successful weight loss.

Okay, I admit it, I don't like to exercise. I didn't get to weigh 147 pounds more than I do now by enjoying exercising. However, what I do love is my life right now. My life includes maintenance of a 147 pound weight loss that is possible by regular exercise. Of course, there are other components of my weight maintenance program but one of them is exercise.

Is it Time to Eat?
Are you hungry? How hungry? Can you tell how hungry you are? By using the Rate Your Hunger Chart, you'll be able to distinguish between true physical hunger and head hunger.

Weight loss and maintenance will naturally occur. Tune in rather than tune out to your hunger. Read

For those of us that diet, sometimes we consider that day a loss and eat off our diet plan until the next day or even the following Monday. These slip ups will happen just as life happens.
