You can create new habits the same way you created the old ones. Make the right decisions every time till that is ingrained in your brain. Do it long enough to make it your new routine. Don't give the garbage food a chance with your diet. It's not easy but it is simple. Simple, baby steps done every time become the way you permanently walk!

One of my problems is that I spend all day in my car. One of the habits I am trying to start is actually eating at home and I have been successfully eating dinner at home for the past couple of weeks. I am used to eating most of my meals from fast food in the car while traveling.
I know I can do this, I did it 7 years ago and lost 140#. I don't have the support I did then which is one of the reasons I decided to start posting here. It wasn't unusual for me, at that point, to call someone and say "my car is wanting to drive thru a fast food, talk to me until I get home so I don't let it." Now that I have a smart phone maybe I need to make posting here my priority in those situations.
I know I can do this- I just have to decide I'm going to and I have to decide that every day. I do know that once I get these habits started they are easy for me to follow most of the time- if I will follow them and not start sliding. It becomes very much "this is my food" in my mind and "this food is not mine, I don't eat food that is not mine."
The first month is the hardest so maybe I need to make the commitment to post something at least daily for the first month.
Thanks for the suport Jim- you always seem very supportive.
Boy am I getting wordy.
