When I started on my quest for fitness I started first with my toughest issue. I loved to eat. Meals were large and most of the time a second or third helping of food would find its way to my plate. My beverage of choice was Coke. At one point I was up to three 44oz cups a day. It was the hardest part of getting fit that I have had to go through. To be honest it remains the hardest thing. If you have had or are currently having the same problem as I did, I suggest reading the following post about this very subject.
