4. Get 8 hours of sleep.
5. Eat slowly.
6. Don't eat out more than 2 times per week.
7. Pack your own lunch and 'arm' yourself with a balanced meal!
8. Get moving...stretch, walk, lift some weights, practice yoga, or just deep breathing.
9. Think of fruit, sugar free yogurt, or calorie free beverages as dessert.
10. Fat free does not mean calorie free or even calorie reduced.
11. Think before you eat:
    1. Are you hungry?
    2. Are you going to feel good about your choices after you eat?
    3. Is this the 'fuel' that I want to power my body with?
