That's a smoke screen.
It requires a DECISION.
If you decide not to enter McDonalds, you're unlikely to consume a big mac.
If you decide not to enter the pizza place, you're unlikely to eat one.
If you decide not to enter the donut shop, you won't be eating any.
If you decide to walk three miles to the library, you'll get some 
exercise.  You'll be much more likely to accomplish the task
than if you ride a stationary bike in sight of the refrigerator.
You can't quit and have a snack when you're 2 miles from home.
I sold my treadmill and stationary bike and bought walking shoes
and a real bicycle.
Have a plan and a destination for everything you do.

Plan your activities around NOT eating.  Avoid places where
eating happens.  If you're not hungry, you're eating too much.
If it tastes good, you probably shouldn't eat it.
Get used to it.

You can manage what you measure.  SO, measure what you want to
manage.
It's futile to measure calories when what you care about is weight.
Step on the scale every morning.  If you don't weigh less than the
previous morning, you ate too much for your level of activity.
It's a DIRECT measurement related to your goal.  No excuses.  No psychology.
No blaming the calorie counter.
Eat less or exercise more or both today.
Doesn't have to be a big weight change.
Little reductions add up.
Don't get in a hurry.  Lifestyle changes never end.  You've got
all the time you need, as long as the trend is down.

Food is not a reward.
Weight is a penalty.

That's my pet peeve for cellphones.  They are excuses to go thru
life randomly in response to the inputs of others.
Hang up the damn smart phone and take charge of your life.
