What I know about me - for weight loss

[krysalyss]

I wrote down everything I know about my eating and exercise habits so that I can have a good hard look at the things that trip me up, or what I do that can help me lose a little bit more weight and keep it off. Rather than a beat up list it is more self-exploratory. This list is both the good things and the bad things. I wanted to share it in case other people find it helpful as well or want to post their own lists.

1. I use food as a reward if I have done something great or if have had a hard day (because I 'deserve it')
2. I tend to rely on external factors to control my weight rather than looking to myself
3. If I buy a whole packet of biscuits I am going to eat a whole packet of biscuits
4. When I feel thin, I am more motivated to eat better and exercise more
5. Most junk food doesn't even taste that good. If waste lots of calories in one meal it better taste awesome!
6. I really like vegetables and other healthy foods like rice and pasta
7. I don't drink enough water
8. Coffee suppresses my appetite. Although I don't like to drink more than two a day it helps to have it when I am most likely to snack on junk food (morning tea and afternoon tea)
9. I really like fried foods...but have lots of over baked alternatives that aren't as bad and taste just as good
10. After exercise I feel awesome, confident and competant
11. Exercise also suppresses my appetite
12. Small lollies help stop sugar craving and are 100 times better than a piece of cake - keep peppermints in the cupboard because you won't have more than one or two of those
13. I love love love soccer and don't need motivating to go
14. I don't like jogging but it helps me feel awesome when playing soccer
15. I am happy doing aerobics or cycling once I have started but need motivation to start
16. I have trouble resisting the dreaded 'double dinner' but having a peppermint tea after dinner helps
17. When I count calories I lose weight quicker and put less on during my 'bad' weeks
