Do you get enough sleep? I never did, until about two years ago. Now I've learned that there's a direct correlation between the ability to lose weight and getting enough sleep. "Enough" is loosely defined as 7-9 hours. I never got that much. I thought I was happy with 5 hours. I was an avowed night owl. Late to rise and late to bed. When I finally, intentionally, started going to bed early (~11 pm) I found I was finally able to diet successfully. Now I almost always get 7 1/2 or 8 hours. It really works. An added benefit is that I have a lot more energy during the day for all that exercise that also helps in the pursuit of weight loss and good health.
