Isolate a behavior.......that keeps you from reaching your goal. Is there that one thing...ok maybe more than one thing that keeps you from losing weight? I'm sure all of us can think of a few. Mine is 100 cal pks........yeah, those things I love to praise. Well, when my mind is in the right area.....they work....when its not.....they don't. It is something I really ...ok it is something I definitely don't need around!. Face it they are usually empty calories!! There is usually just about O nutrition....& they are NOT a filling food!
What is your behavior.......
A big part of any weight loss plan is changing your bad habits. Bad habits like snacking on junk food, avoiding exercise and not drinking enough water are all to blame for excess weight gain. So obviously, if you want to shed the extra pounds, you have to shed the bad habits too. But these types of behavior have been second nature to many people for so long, and as such it can be a real chore to modify your behavior to incorporate good routines into your life.
A bad habit is defined as something we do regularly that negatively impacts on our life. The first step in getting rid of your bad habits is to identify them. Write down the things you do regularly that are impacting on your health and well being. Are you a smoker? Do you snack on junk? Do you turn to food when you are having a bad day or when you are celebrating? Every one's bad habits will be different, make a list of yours and keep it to hand so you know what you have to stamp out.
Next, accept that it's going to be a long journey. You didn't put your weight on overnight and it's not going to magically disappear overnight either. Accept that you're in this for the long haul and you will be more successful. Don't look on changing your habits as a diet - look on it as a lifestyle plan. The word 'diet' puts a lot of people off straight away but the term 'lifestyle plan' will stick and sounds much more positive.
The next step is to take baby steps. Take each bad habit one at a time and stamp them out individually, in little pieces. Let's imagine that your first bad habit is snacking on junk food during the day. Write down the times you eat junk. If you eat a candy bar at 11am every day, spend your first week replacing that with something healthy, like a piece of fruit. Then the next week, cut out those extra cookies in the evening. Taking things slowly will ensure you are successful.
Reward yourself each time you break one of your bad habits - but not with food! A shopping trip, a spa day, a relaxing bath or some time spent by yourself reading are all great rewards. They will give you something to aim for and help keep you on the right track to success.

Weight Watchers Grilled Mushroom Pizza Recipe
Ingredients:
8 oz fresh shiitake mushroom, stems removed, caps wiped clean with a damp towel, quartered
6 medium shallot(s), peeled, quartered and chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp table salt
1 spray(s) cooking spray
1/2 cup(s) pizza sauce, or tomato sauce
4 medium whole wheat tortilla(s)
1 tsp dried oregano
1/8 pound(s) provolone cheese, about 4 thin slices
4 tsp grated Parmesan cheese, Parmigiano-Reggiano recommended
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450ºF. In a large bowl, toss together mushrooms, shallots, oil and salt; spread on a sheet pan in a single layer and lightly coat with cooking spray. Roast until vegetables are crispy, about 12 to 15 minutes; remove from oven and set aside. (Or grill the vegetables in a grilling basket.) Heat an outdoor grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. To make pizzas, spread 2 tablespoons of sauce on each tortilla; sprinkle each with 1/4 teaspoon of oregano. Top each with 1 slice of cheese that has been torn into pieces, 1 teaspoon of Parmesan and 1/4 of vegetable mixture. Place pizzas on grill or grill pan (you may have to do this in batches depending on the size of your grill pan), and cook until edges begin to brown, about 3 to 4 minutes; rotate pizza. Continue cooking until cheese is bubbly, about 2 to 3 minutes more.
