I wish I could explain how I sent my body into fail mode this week but I tried to picture how I would write it and it sounded a little vulgar. Did you reach body failure this week? For me, this week it was “ab” failure. Ab failure resulting in full body failure. All in […]

1. Every time you eat, take a moment to rate your hunger.

2. If it’s above a 4, ask yourself why you’re eating and if you can wait 15 minutes. Look at your list and pick something else to do. Tell yourself you’ll be back in 15 minutes if you still want the food.
