Here's how to view sleeping dogs.

“You want to succeed but bad habits won't die. Here's how to view sleeping dogs.”

When do you fall back into your old ways? Where? If you tend to binge as soon as you get home from work while making supper, something needs to change. Eat an apple on the way home. Do you spend time with friends eating out? Instead go walking at the mall (away from the food court). Snacking in front of the TV? Do puzzles, crochet, or pump small hand weights while you watch. You need to do things that keep you focused on your goals - read healthy magazines, try new healthy recipes a couple times a week, engage in healthy activities - take up golf, bowling, or skating. Break out of the routine that the bad habits inhabit and you may break free from them once and for all.

Just a question, how do you become a certified support group leader?

ObesityHelp has a great support group leader program. Check it out

I will have too thank you.

They don't certify support group leaders but train them up to facilitate support groups.  If the word certification impresses you then Bariatric Support Centers International certifies support group leaders but they prefer you use their materials only.  It's up to you.

Well down the road I will be looking at getting financing for the gym idea I had so certification may look better. Thank you.

Would you not be better off with a protein based snack vs. an apple?

The point is healthy choices. 

Ah. For me, and apple would not be a healthy choice, so that is what confused me.
