Take Action!
Set realistic goals.
Start out by setting small goals, like:
- I want to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week.
- I will add 10 minutes of physical activity to my daily routine.
- I will avoid second helpings of meals this week.
Keep a food and activity diary.
Write down:
- When you eat
- What you eat
- How much you eat
- Your physical activity
Print a food and activity diary or make your own. When you know your habits, it’s easier to make changes.
