Mind Over Matter


Here are some healthy habots for neophyte fitness buffs like you:

* Avoid vending machines, fast-food joints and convenience stores for full-on meals.

* Work on individual plates and avoid "family style" dishes when eating out. Make portions look large by spreading them out on the plate.

* Plan your meals ahead and keep sports and exercise equipment in sight, like near the door or in your car.

* Eat more slowly and enjoy every bite of your food. Also, join group exercises for motivational exchanges with others.

* If you "slip", do not punish yourself, instead forget the crime and refocus. Ask your friends to remain neutral with their observations toward your eating and exercise habits.

* Reward yourself. Take naps to recharge, get a massage, or learn a new sport.
