I know you want to manage your weight and most likely lose some. I created this list so you can identify personal behaviors that cause weight gain - some you may not be aware of.
This list seems very tongue-in-cheek. Perhaps it is, but these top 18 ways are serious - they work effectively and quickly. Adopting these habits guarantee that you’ll gain weight and have a really tough time losing it. And if you already have some of these habits, you can change them into their opposite positive and lose weight.
1. Overeat.
2. Eat foods you’re allergic to. Most common: wheat, dairy, soy, sugar.
3. Eat junk food and fast food.
4. Fill up on starches and sugars. Become a starch-arian.
5. Use food to manage challenging emotions.
6. Sit around. Increase your screen time.
7. Stay away from exercise.
8. Stay indoors.
9. Never develop creative interests.
10. Drink lots of liquid calories –sodas, alcohol, juice, etc. They count double or triple a chewed calorie.
11. Drink diet sodas and beverages sweetened with aspartame.
12. Avoid eating meat, poultry, and seafood.
13. Clean your plate.
14. Eat only one meal a day.
15. Skip breakfast.
16. Avoid eating eggs.
17. Yo-yo diet.
18. Stay up late.
Please post your questions and comments and I'll respond.
Have a terrific June and July,

Thanks for that list Lucy, it is very helpful. I do have 2 questions though -
1- What's with the eggs? I've recently stop eating eggs because I thought they were the cause to me getting sick. I've been contemplating the idea of slowly adding them back, but for some reason, I just don't miss them.
2- Sleep. What's the ideal minimal amount needed in your opinion?
Thanks in advance,
michelle.
Recent published research shows clearly that women who eat whole eggs for breakfast weight less than those who don't. We're awaiting more research to learn why eggs are such a great weight loss and weight maintenance food.
Most people need 7-8 hours of sleep every night. Some need only 5-6, others need 9-10. Find out how much you need by not setting an alarm clock for several nights in a row to determine what time you naturally awaken. Figure how many hours you slept and that's close to what your body needs. (I need 8-9.)
