Since I have been on SP, I have learned some healthy habits that I am passing on to my preschooler. I don't drink soda or have it in the house!{We only drink it @ birthday parties!}. I don't chew gum and we don't have that in the house! I drink water daily as does my hubby and so our preschooler does ,too! I am PROUD to start small with these healthy objectives accomplished daily! I also eat oatmeal with fruit almost every day to keep my cholestrol normal!

Upon opening the refrigerator to mindlessly graze, ask: "Do I really need to eat right now, or am I snacking because I'm stressed, tired, or bored?" If it's really the scheduled time to snack, choose a healthy snack instead of the comfort food. If not, choose to shut the door instead of sabotaging the development of healthy new eating habits.

This prevents me from ruining the progress I have made with healthy new eating habits
To stay on track with eating healthy on a daily basis, I tell myself "Today is the first day of my new eating habits".
MORE INFORMATION:
It's been my experience that I do quite well on the first day of trying a new diet and now in this case a lifestyle change. So when I think I want to revert back to some old habits I remind myself that today is the first day of the changes and it has been working for me for well over a month now.
When you do healthy things consistently - they will become habits.
MORE INFORMATION:
That is how habits are formed: - eat your fruits and veggies (then you won't develop habit of eating junky foods) - exercise (then you won't be tired when you do everything - think positive (then you will believe that you can change)
