  1. The biggest problem is that it tastes like crap.

  2. I tried healthy food but could not eat a lot. Vegetables just did not taste that good. I ended up hungry and after a while reached for something that I liked. I want to eat healthy, but what should I do when I am still hungry? It is so hard.

  3. Write down the top three barriers that stand in your way from achieving what you most want and begin to consider ways you could overcome them. The solution is to take action and use the winds of change to carry you toward the life you want and deserve. You can lose weight - but it's up to you to take the simple daily actions that will make losing weight a habit.

  5. Great points Mark. You're going to face barriers whenever you try to make a change. That's why is so important to have a powerful reason for making the change in order to overcome the challenges.

  6. I always find myself eating way too much fruit. I get a ton of sugar from this, but I always try to justify it by saying fruit is better than junk food. I'm not really sure what to do about this. But great post! It got me thinking.

  7. Yes, it's very important to know what the barriers are when you're doing anything, and especially healthy eating. If you make time to work them out and properly identify them when you're first starting out, as well as working out you are even going to prevent them from the get go or overcome them, then you will have more chance of success in the long run, and that can only benefit you! Good little post, and it's nice to have a reminder that things aren't always going to be smooth and things will pop up as a barrier between us and what we're trying to achieve.

  8. It takes me a little longer to go shopping now that I pay closer attention to the labels. But in the end, I feel it worth it because at least I know what I am putting into my mouth.
