on 11/22/2005 What motivates me to lose weight is to see someone whom I admire and would (realistically) like to look like. Keep a picture out where you can see this person and remind yourself that you can look like this person too...keep that will power up! :)

on 11/22/2005 Select one day a week to designate as your "cheat" day, in other words, eat what you want on this day. Maintain your healthy eating the rest of the week. This keeps you from getting burned out and also gives you something to look forward to.

on 11/22/2005 If you're craving something sweet or fattening, remember: It'll always be there. You can have it later; after the diet, after a week of dieting, or tomorrow if you must. There will always be a donut for you to eat...just not now!

on 11/22/2005 Don't starve yourself or force yourself to throw up, because you can seriously hurt your body by doing either. Don't go on a grapefruit diet; as soon as you stop the diet, you gain all that weight back that you just spent months losing.

on 11/22/2005 When opening the fridge door, think are you really hungry. It may be that you're just tired or bored. Take a nap or do something useful. Also, if you need to be chewing on something constantly, chew sugarfree chewing gum. Try different flavours!

on 11/22/2005 Just remember that nice look on your friends' faces when they see you in your new look: thin and sexy! It's a total fulfillment! You will definitely like yourself and think twice next time you want to eat a chocolate!

on 11/22/2005 Before you diet, enjoy and treat yourself to a bunch of goodies that you love to eat. Then start the diet by counting the calories each day. I lost 5 kg. in a month this way. Good luck with your weight loss!!

on 11/22/2005 Instead of thinking of the negative - losing weight, focus on the positive - becoming slimmer, healthier. ... Most people, when losing something, have a tendency to try to find it again. Old Chinese saying: Focus on the positive to eliminate the negative.
