Changing An Eating Habit

As far as diet goes, it is more than easy to fall back into utilizing bad habits and, consequently, eating poorly. But, I came across this article that dives into the dynamics of what needs to be done to change a bad eating habit into a good one. So, anytime I feel the need to stuff my face with unhealthy food, my plan is to consult the following flowchart:

From this chart, I realize that to combat bad habits you first have to commit to actually wanting to change that unhealthy habit. Then, to change that habit, the flowchart points out that it is more effective to break down the cause of why the habit is so satisfying in the first place. Having this mentality helps me to understand what urge needs to be dealt with in order for me to easily change the habit that ails me. As the flowchart mentions, it is much easier to change a habit if you have a plan. And, by following this chart, a plan is easier to come by.
