[quote=Anonymous]Step 1 - stop drinking all soda. Learn to like water. Slice lemons, limes, grapefruit and garnish water with it to add interest. It may take a while to learn to like it after drinking other things for so long. This alone will make a HUGE difference.

Step 2- Check out the skinnytaste website. Her recipes are pretty easy and taste good. Its Friday, so pick two recipes to make this weekend for dinners.   Anytime you make a recipe you like, print it or bookmark it in a folder. Soon you will have a list of things you know how to make.

Step 3 - Walk after dinner every night. Its something to do besides eating more.  Start with a 20 minute walk until you are building up to more time.

Step 4- After your walk, have a pan of what you are going to do - are you going to read, knit, etc? It should be an activity that requires your hands - not tv or computer. It makes it a little harder to sit and eat.

Just take one day at a time. If you screw up, just start over the next day.

Oatmeal is a great breakfast, very filling. So are egg whites with one yolk mixed in and some vegetables, maybe whole grain toast.

Weight watchers online is pretty cheap too- I'm relatively fit and have used that before to guide my eating. The one caution about that is you will be going from one extreme to another - its not that WW is extreme, but if your eating habits are as you describe them, you might not be able to transition immediately to the WW recs - you might have to gradually ramp up to them.

Focus on adding good habits instead of removing bad ones.  [/quote]
