Healthy Alternatives

Toss aside that bad habit and replace it with healthier ones like these:

* Instead of overeating, work a part-time job or extra hours to earn money for your new diet and fitness fun and clothes.

* Instead of overeating, over-read and learn how to cook healthy meals and how to build up your body.

* Instead of overeating, have fun with friends or by yourself. Take a hike, ride a bike, go to a movie, volunteer, baby-sit for a friend in need, take a class and park far from the entrance for more exercise.

* Instead of overeating, shop for healthy fresh fruits and vegetables plus low-fat or no-fat dips to go with them.

* Instead of overeating, go out with a friend who is also trying to lose weight and top overeating. Team up and help each other beat your bad habits!

* Instead of overeating, plan your success path, how many pounds you'll lose per week (2 is average) and how you'll get there (exercising more, eating less) and log your meals, snacks, fitness activities each day. Plus fill in your thoughts, successes, failures….

Be your own best friend and finally take time to take care of yourself. Go for it!
