"Stop forcing yourself to go to the gym if you hate it, and find an exercise you actually enjoy. I gave up trying to enjoy the gym and found things I actually like doing! What a difference! I've lost 30 pounds simply by finding exercise I enjoy, such as hiking, biking, yoga, swimming, snowshoeing, and kayaking, among other things. Now I crave exercise and can't wait for my next workout session, because nothing feels like a workout anymore!
I read packages. If I see anything I cannot pronounce, or cannot say what it is, I won't buy/eat it. It keeps my food healthier. Also, if the first ingredient is some kind of sugar, it's out of the question.
100 pounds later, none of the junk food stuff tastes ok to me
