For me, I've found my posture whether sitting or standing effects my attitude. When sitting at the computer, I tend to slump. Pulling my shoulders up and back, helps me to feel more confident. As well as when I'm standing, the straighter I stand, the more positive and confident my out look & attitude are. Give it a try. Trying is free.

Like many people I know I sometimes have trouble remembering to suck in my belly when I am exercising. I know that it's important for posture. So when I am working out I will pat my tummy too remind myself that I am using correct form.
If people only ate when they felt true hunger, few of us would struggle with our weight. So why (and where) are we eating so much, and what can we do about it? Start here.
