weightloss and lists

We all lead very lives and between work, home and personal responsibilities there seems to be precious little time to think/concentrate/plan our daily dietary needs to fulfill our weight loss efforts. Often choices are made on the run and those choices do not turn out to be the best.

I refer to the term "potholes" to describe the problems we figuratively step into as this relates to sabotaging our own weight loss efforts. These may include skipping breakfast because you are too busy in the mornings, having to go through drive thru fast food for dinner because of the late baseball practice that your child is involved with, having to be in an airport during mealtime, etc.

I strongly encourage you to take some time and write out a list of all the potholes pertinent to your specific challenges. If you know where each and every pothole is, there is less chance of stepping into them and interfering with your weight loss efforts.
