[quote=Anonymous]The best advice I heard that's really helped me get in shape this year (I'm not a yo-yo-er), is to pick one (either eat well or exercise regularly), and only do one at a time.

Sure, this goes against all conventional wisdom, but doing too much at once burns me out. I get tired, have cravings, and it just doesn't last.

So do one, and do it well. You can work on adding the second component later, but not until you are WELL into a good routine with the first part (like a couple months in or more). The thing is, doing ONE thing consistently will always be better for you than doing both temporarily, and then quitting.

I'm down 25 lbs this year, and have about 15 to go. I eat bread, chocolate, rice, and all the "NO" foods. But working on getting my exercise into a good and consistent pattern first, had helped me figure out how to moderate my food (all things in moderation). Stop beating yourself up about not being able to do it all, and just pick EITHER exercise OR food. Work on one thing at a time. [/quote]
