I learned just how important Water is. Two weeks of fatigue, pain in my side and back, shoulders that felt like I was carrying weights on each, constipation, headaches, and a 2-week stall in my weight loss. After my doctor told me I was getting dehydrated and all my symptoms were related to that, I started drinking my water and 2 or 3 days later all my symptoms were gone and I lost 3 pounds.

Dont let yourself get constipated

If you are out shopping one day, and your tummy starts to rumble, immediately head for the head. Do not let yourself think it will go away in a few minutes.

I've learned to really take my time to eat and to not be distracted while eating. If I don't, I eat too fast or too big of bites and it all comes back up.
