Advice

Words of Wisdom from Bob Greene

We checked in with Bob Greene for tips to help you start the day off right and stay on track. His bottom line? A little discipline can equal huge payoff. Here's what he had to say:

	Eat breakfast! Breakfast is the one occasion where I'll tell you to force yourself to eat, even if you don't feel hungry.
	If you're a night-time snacker, push the breakfast habit. Over time, your body will naturally adjust. You'll find yourself more able to control evening snacking, and you'll wake up hungry for something healthy.
	Be patient. It usually takes about three weeks for the body to settle into new routines. You have to stick with it.
	Exercise as close to waking up as is reasonable. When you sleep, your body gets sluggish and you wake up with a metabolism that's just limping along. A workout kicks it into high gear, and your body will sustain that energy for hours afterwards.
	Try to make the gym your first stop of the day. Nine times out of ten, if you "plan" a workout later on, something will get in the way.
	Splurge a little. I believe that we should treat ourselves with a small indulgence every single day.
	Avoid extremes. The people who are most successful with their weight are those who are level headed about it; they know how to allow themselves an indulgence, but limit it to a reasonable amount.
	Look closely at the barriers between yourself and your best life. Is it possible that you're creating some of them yourself?
