4 Things to LOVE About Dieting

YOU FEEL IN CONTROL

So often our food choices aren't driven by hunger, but by feelings -- boredom, anxiety, anger. When you focus on eating more healthfully, you learn to identify those times and come up with non-food ways to soothe your emotions. No more mindless munching.

YOU CAN INSPIRE OTHERS

Watching you navigate the weight-loss process -- and witnessing your success -- can prompt the people you care about to make healthy choices in their lives.

YOU SURPRISE YOURSELF

...Once you change ingrained eating habits, you come to realize you can do anything else you set your mind to.

YOU LOSE WEIGHT

'Nuff said.
