Not as easy as flipping a switch

So I was thinking today about what I wrote recently and realized I had to change my habits pretty significantly in order to accomplish my ultimate goal. How does one simply turn it around? I thought about while I relaxed on my couch playing the new Zelda game. I was hungry but was I really? It's hard to explain being hungry when you aren't really. Eating even when you aren't hungry is a problem I have had for a while, and no I am not talking about having a snack every so often I am talking eating because it's there. I am going to have to alter my entire eating habits and that will not be easy. I recently did something I rarely do, I talked about this "change" and my feelings as it were to my Mom who I do not really ever talk about this kind of thing. Usually I will avoid the question or try and move the conversation onto something else. I do the same when it comes to me dating. But I think she knows now how I feel about myself and why I have been single. So now that she knows I have another layer of support to rely on. I told her about my deplorable eating habits telling her how I would fill a tray instead of putting few on their. I talked about working on portion control I need to do that. I will keep this one shorter than last, as not to drag it on. I will say this still no soda, I drank water and crystal light, I did wake up with a headache today but went away. But so far so good I didn't do Zumba that night I did play games while I walked in place for over 2000 steps so I did do something I also earned 10 play coins from my 3DS (it has a pedometer inside and for every 100 steps you get a coin up to 10 per day) so onward and upward!
