The times in my life where I've lost the couple of extra pounds I've been carrying around have all times where I've been too busy to bother with thinking about my weight. It's unfair but true -- when I don't think about calories or the size of my clothes or how much fat I am burning off, I am able to lose weight. I think it comes down to the simple fact that when I think of food and calories, I get hungry. When I'm to o busy to think about food, I only get hungry when my body demands some fuel. Do you find the same thing?

If you want to lose weight without trying, that's the way to do it -- by being busy and not thinking about it. But you can't just turn your brain off, and you can't control what you think, but here's a suggestion: Think about other things, if possible. Don't let food control your thoughts unless you're hungry. Sound simple enough?
