Lets start off by saying this aint no body shaming weightloss ra-ra. If you love your body, then you do you, boo. If, however, youre looking to shed a few kilos, then keep reading.

Hunger comes knocking pretending to be hunger when its actually something else far too often. Listening to your body is a very good idea, but dont be fooled by it.

Youll be amazed at how easy it easy to confuse boredom and hunger and how quickly these calories add up with you forgetting that you consumed them.

Learn to distinguish between hunger and boredom.How to do that is a post all on its own, but heres a rule of thumb: are you so hungry that youd eat an apple? If not, then postpone that doughnut. If yes, then eat an apple.

There are also some medications that can make dropping those extra kilos a bit more difficult.
