When you're done bowling, carry the ball around for the rest of the day. This will give you an idea of what you are carrying around 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

One day I needed to move three 50 pound bags of cement out of my way. I couldn't believe how heavy they were and had a heck of a time moving them. What really amazed me was thinking that I had lost over 50 pounds. I couldn't believe I used to carry all that extra weight around. It really made me realize just why I was so tired all the time before. Every time you are tempted to eat junk food, pick up that bowling ball and carry it around for 15 minutes before you decide if you want to go ahead and eat.
