How to avoid having a threesome with Ben and Jerry

Whenever people tell me, “I just can’t stop eating, it tastes soooo good.”  I always know that they are using food for entertainment, happiness and FUN.  Think about it, if eating ice cream is the most entertaining thing you’re doing all day, without it your life is going to be super boring.  Even if you try to stop eating it, you’re going to find yourself, as Kate, a Live More Weigh Less Mastery Alum would put it, in a threesome with Ben and Jerry.

The key is finding your kicks somewhere else. You need to make your life so fun that food is no longer a highlight.

In order to make sure none of you have the excuse I hear so often, “I just don’t know what I like to do for fun”  I made a list of things to do here.  Enjoy!
