The Weight Loss for Foodies approach is all about ditching your unconscious, unhealthy eating habits and establishing new ones that will not only help you enjoy eating more than ever, but will also move you towards a more comfortable weight.  So much of how most people eat is an unconscious habit, and that is precisely the problem. But how do you kick a bad habit and create a new one? If you want to weigh less, you probably have a number of habits surrounding how you eat that result in overeating, which in turn causes weight gain.  Part of your brain is happy continuing to do what it knows, and doesn’t care if it’s not good for you. That often means your brain helps you to continue doing your bad habits.  This makes changing your habits challenging. People are so inclined to choose immediate gratification instead of their more important long-range goals, even though immediate gratification doesn’t produce the joy that achieving your goal does.  You CAN break any habit and replace it with a healthier, more desirable one.  Listen to learn a strategy that will help you feel good about little choices you make to get started on your new habits.
