What was the first habit you changed?

I'm curious out of all the changes they list that could be helpful in weight loss what was the first bad habit you changed?

Is it still a staple in your weight loss now? (Do you still practice it)

Definitely small bites and breaks between bites. I eat with a teaspoon or oyster fork at home and at work, which helps

I love this idea! Since I feel that this is my biggest struggle I think I'll try this also.

I stopped going into the kitchen when I come home in the evening. I go to my room instead, or now that it's nice I go outside and spend time in the yard with the family.

Love how you think outside of the box!

I had to slow down when I ate.. my husband eats like a house on fire so after being married to him for 37 years I ate way too fast to keep up with him.. now I eat very slow .. he's done way before me but I told him to go ahead and leave the table..I also have not had anything with more than 5 grams of sugar in it since surgery... sugar is my trigger and I have to stay away from it so I can lose the weight I need to.

I was taking medication for diabetes before surgery now I do not have to.. my small changes have had big results...

My husband is military, so he chomps everything down in under 5 minutes too! lol

For me it was giving up things - soda, most bread (but not all) and fast food. I don't touch any of it still, I have my cravings here and there but overall don't miss it

For me it was pasta...I ate it morning noon and night! Also soda and chocolate. I bought candy bars all the time. Since I was prediabetic I am very careful with any sweets.
