I've found that the habits of success evolve over time and then re-evolve again! Such as eating Breakfast. I always have and believed that it was necessary. Since starting 5:2 lifestyle, I find I'm not eating much breakfast since at least two days a week I'm waiting til later in the day to have anything other than liquid and have found that it has sorta changed my eating schedule overall. It hasn't caused me to eat MORE overall or binge. I'm sure I will revert at some point.

All of the others are truly important and probably the most important NOW is keeping track and making wise food choices. Since Portion Control (other than sliders) is somewhat "built in" with our sleeves.

As I was reading these I was thinking to myself that these are in fact the habits of success in general, too, aren't they? I need to look at this list not only when I am feeling goofy about weight control stuff, but also when I don't want to file that report, or clean my desk...

Love the list. Must get the book.

It really is a good book .The Beck Diet Solution. I have to make cards and put them in my car , in the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. It helps to reinforce what you want to do.

I really need to get the work book. I am sure it's more of a help than the actual book.
