Old habits are hard to break ... and might be the reason you're still overweight

Categories: Diet & Weight Loss

Most of us are creatures of habit, myself included. We get sucked in to routines that include doing things at a certain time, in a certain way. Habits are easy to make and hard to break ... and your unhealthy habits are probably contributing to that extra bit of weight you can't get rid of. Some examples? Having a doughnut over your morning coffee, snacking while you watch your evening shows, spending your weekend driving around instead of enjoying the fresh air. For me, I have a habit of craving something sweet after dinner ... and satisfying the craving with chocolate, ice cream or something else that is calorie-laden.

Glee Magazine has put together some tips on breaking your bad habits. The first step is recognizing your bad habits, then replacing them with healthy habits, and reminding yourself to stick to to your new routines. Does this actually work? I don't know ... I have yet to try, but it can't hurt, right?

What are your bad habits?
