Weight Control
Take action now to reach your resolution to lose weight.
* Set an exercise goal you can reach. For example, by the end of this month, I will walk at least 20 minutes a day, five days a week.
* When you reach a goal, give yourself a nonfood reward, such as a new workout video or a new lunch bag.
* Substitute water for sweetened beverages.
* Eat fruits and veggies for snacks instead of candy, chips, and cookies.
Action Step:Chew food slowly to give your body time to send a signal to your brain that you’ve had enough. You’ll enjoy your food more and eat less.
Choose foods that won’t sabotage your goals.
