Rules

It occurs to me there should be some basic rules about weight loss. Or dieting. Or whatever you want to call it. So I'm going to try to list some. These can be adjusted, edited, killed, added to, whatever. Just sort of thinking out loud here.

Do it now.
How many times have I thought "Yeah, I should do that...I'll start tommorrow." Whatever it is - cutting out the fast food, weighing yourself, going for a walk...just do it now.

Admit it.
It's never easy to admit faults. Ever. Especially with weight. But admitting it helps. Whether you're looking in the mirror saying, "Ok, I am NOT a size 16 anymore." or looking at the fridge saying "I really have a weakness for ice cream." Case in point - I admitted that I had a weight problem and was trying to fix it to my friends before a game session. They didn't laugh at me or judge me. They brought veggies instead of chips. This applys to everything. Write down everything you eat, if you're keeping a food journal. Sure, it was one cookie. Still, admit it.

Fill The Void.
You're eating less. You're going to feel like something's missing. This is perfectly NORMAL for a human. So fill that void. Exercise is often recommended. Get a hobby. Learn a craft. Learn how to cook more healthy. Do something.
