Expert Tips From Bob Greene

Check out Bob's words of wisdom for starting the day right and staying on track:

• Eat breakfast! Breakfast is the one occasion when I'll tell you to force yourself to eat, even if you don't feel hungry.
• If you're a nighttime snacker, push the breakfast habit. Over time, your body will naturally adjust. You'll find yourself more able to control evening snacking, and you'll wake up hungry for something healthy.
• Be patient. It usually takes about three weeks for the body to settle into new routines. You have to stick with it.
• Exercise as close to waking up as is reasonable. When you sleep, your body gets sluggish and you wake with a metabolism that's just limping along. A workout kicks it into high gear, and your body will sustain that energy for hours afterward.
• Try to make the gym your first stop of the day. Nine times out of ten, if you plan a workout later on, something will get in the way.
• Splurge a little. I believe that we should treat ourselves with a small indulgence every single day.
• Avoid extremes. The people who are most successful with their weight are those who are level-headed about it; they know how to allow themselves an indulgence, but limit it to a reasonable amount.
• Look closely at the barriers between yourself and your best life. Is it possible that you're creating some of them yourself?
