Philosophies and Facts...

So, through the days and years I've dieted before, I've come up with different philosophies and facts. It's about time I've shared some with you.

Key:
P=Philosophy
F=Fact

P: You're going to live each day of your life minute by minute, hour by hour. Sometimes from meal to meal. So, diet from meal to meal. Eventually it becomes easier and then turns into second nature.

F: It takes 22 days to create a new habit. It takes years to create a lifestyle.

P: The foods you crave at the beginning of a diet become less and less appetizing the longer you don't eat them. You can 'trick' your mind to believe these foods taste gross.

F: If you live an unhealthy lifestyle, you'll be unhealthy.

P: If you're overweight, chances are your children will be as well. Setting habits and patterns into motion is the best way to teach your children the right way to eat and live. So, my children's future, I am doing this.

There are more, but this is enough for now :o).
