What was the first habit you changed?

I'm curious out of all the changes they list that could be helpful in weight loss what was the first bad habit you changed?

Is it still a staple in your weight loss now? (Do you still practice it)

I started counting my calories religiously the day I got home from the hospital and 16 months later I still do. I really believe it's a huge reason I've been successful so far with my band.

I only have bread in a restaurant, now, if it's good. I eat the crust and leave the doughie part.

Also, I have a Protein Shake every morning for my Protein because I hate Breakfast foods.

my first thing that i HAD to change was my attitude

if i went into this (surgery) with a what if i cant, what if that, what if this, i would have been in for a long ride.....the first thing i changed was ME...i told myself if i was able to get my insurance to approve this surgery, and find a great doctor, that i would do whatever it took to help myself..sure i failed in the past and this was my (last stand)..once i changed my attitude from woe is me and i cant to I WANT.....it was game on.......and i can see the end zone from here..

Dropped diet coke and drinking with meals. Yes, they are both still helpful for weight loss.

I started counting calories and got rid of the habit of stting on my rear end all day long and playing computer games !

[B-52 7,113]

I really did not change any habits on my own, untill the band, after a fill or two, started to compell (force) me to do so.....

I did however step up my exercising, Water intake, and ensured I got all my daily Protein....all things I continue to do even today.....

Well it was Soda cause I used to drink two 2 liter bottles of Dr. Pepper by myself, so I quit soda and all the carbonated drinks, now I can't even do corn tortillas , bread, pork chops or hot dogs or I will get the stuck feeling and I hurt afterward so I don't eat these things anymore as time goes you learn what you can tolerate and what you can't and you Really have to learn to eat in moderation , I am no longer starving myself but I just eat real little and it keeps me satisified fo the 4 to 5 hours , if I do feel hungy in between I eat fruit or a Protein Bar to satisfy and I drink plenty of Water it keeps me full.
