The 57 Books I Read In 2022
One thing I learned on the weight loss journey is how important it is to fill up my time with activities other than eating. Beginning in 2015, one major change I made in how I spent my time was to work towards a goal of reading 52 books a year. I made a strict rule not to eat while reading, which made it the perfect fasting window activity. I found that it also helped distract me when I was feeling the urge to eat, out of habit, or from stress. Another benefit was that reading kept me in a constant state of learning, which made my day more exciting, which meant I put less emphasis on eating for excitement. Yes, it's true: prior to this, there were many times when the most exciting part of my day was eating.

5 Tips For Setting Your 2023 Weight Loss Goal
The New Year is upon us. After doing your year-end review, it’s a perfect time to set up some goals for 2023. Goal setting is easier to do around this time of year because many people around you are doing the same thing. It’s a good kind of peer pressure. But there's also danger in setting a goal at this time of year. The majority of the people around you will give up by the second Friday in January. It’s called Quitter’s day. It’s hard to stick to your goal when everyone around you is quitting theirs. Fortunately, there are some things you can do right now that will set you up for weight loss success in the coming year. If you do these things, you will be more likely to stay on track, even when everyone around you is quitting.

End of The Year Routine For Weight Loss Success
Over the course of my weight loss journey, I have found routines to be exceedingly useful. My morning routine is to weigh in, put that number into my weight tracking app, read four chapters from the Bible, say my morning prayers, and do my journal. These things start me out in the correct mindset, which in turn sets up the rest of my day for weight loss (or in my case, maintenance) success. In the same way, an end-of-the-year routine has helped me get into the right frame of mind for the coming year of keeping the weight off. Weight loss and maintenance, after all, is mostly a mental game. I cannot overstate the importance of keeping your head in the right place day in and day out, year in and year out.
