My biggest newbie mistake? Probably not eating often enough....I really struggle with that one. I just don't feel hungry any more.....so when I'm active (I work two jobs and have some volunteer activities) time doesn't often permit me to stop...and I don't even think about eating when I don't feel a hunger pang. I know it's not right, but without all the carbs to stimulate my appetite...I have a hard time remembering to eat....and I still inadvertently skip way too many meals...and almost never snack.
