The three weeks before I started my diet/exercise program, I just examined my habits. I realized that candy bars were a *major* contributor to my excess weight. In the long run, candy bars aren't filling, and it's easy to overeat them. I tended to buy one every time I went to the grocery store. That was a lot of excess calories.
