When I started, I thought the medication would rewrite my evenings. It did quiet things down, but the habit that helped most was embarrassingly small: I set a 20-oz water bottle on the counter after lunch and walked for 12 minutes before I let myself sit down.
That tiny loop kept me from grazing while dinner was still hours away. I also wrote down what hunger felt like at 3 p.m.
and 8 p.m., because my old cues stopped lining up with the clock. Month one wasn't dramatic — more like a series of low-stakes choices I could repeat.
What's one small habit you wish you'd started sooner, or one you're glad you kept?
