How I did it: I just realized I couldn't keep lying. It gets me nowhere, and I've put a stop to it. If I can't be honest to my friends, my family, and myself, then I can scarcely call myself a breathing thing, and I want to spend my life living to the fullest. Read how I did it…
How I did it: It wasn't so hard to break myself of the habit of turning the tube on. I didn't hang around in the kitchen so much, I went outside and ran around, gardened, made campfires with friends. Honestly, not sitting around in front of the TV helped me diet better. I didn't eat just because there was food around. It was a great experience. Read how I did it…
