Make your home a safe haven
Fill your home with healthy, low-fat, quick and easy food options. A bowl of fresh fruit on the counter, for example, can make it easy to have a healthy snack. Be MINDFUL with your eating. Remember ... EVERY bite counts!
.
TIP #7
Make a plan
If you don't plan out what you're going to eat, the world will have a plan for you. Map out the first day of your week to get a strong start. You can then build on your success and feel good about your choices the rest of the week. If you don't have a plan or goal, you'll hit it every time.

TIP #8
Figure Out 'What's Eating You'All too often overeating is triggered by stress, boredom, loneliness, anger, depression and other emotions. Learning to deal with emotions without food is a significant skill that will greatly serve long-term weight control. One of the ways to figure out what's eating you, is to journal. Making the mindful connection with food will help you lose weight, but more importantly, keep it off!
