Wow, I lose power for a few days and I miss all these wonderful posts. I agree with all of the above, packing your meals, posting affirmations and READING them (lol) simply knowing that you WILL accomplish your goal will make a huge difference. Someone previously mentioned posting a picture on his refrigerator. That is something I wish I had done. I really like that idea and will be sharing it with others.
One of the things that has helped me achieve my goals for a long time is expressed well by Berardi's law....
Berardi’s First Law: If a food is in your possession or located in your residence, you will eventually eat it.
Corollary to Berardi’s First Law: If you wish to be healthy and lean, you must remove all foods not conducive to those goals from said residence and replace them with a variety of better, healthier choices.
Second Corollary to Berardi’s First Law: If you know someone whose house is stocked only with optimal food choices and yet who is not healthy and lean, look under his bed.
