    Cucumber slices. Or Celery. I can munch on near-zero-calorie snacks ALL DAY & it won't hurt my success.

    I feel like I'm snacking... but they're essentially no calories. And I like them too :) When I get sick of celery every day, I swap out for cucumber, & in a week or so I switch back.

    Keep the end goal in mind. Not just a number on the scale, but what you really really want. In my case, smaller clothes,no belly flab and people around me not recognizing me.

    Diarising every day. Being mindful about what and how I eat...

    Premade meals taught me portion size. I still have one every few days just to remind myself. I want to buy smaller dishes, but we haven't the cash for it yet.

    Water, water everywhere, and constantly I drink! (giggle) Seriously. I write from home, and there's a 32 ounce glass of water at my left hand, and I just sip on that all the time. I use Mio flavorings now and then to change it up.

    Free days. I can eat whatever I want one day a week, no matter what it is, and I only have to wait six days at the most for it.

    Sensible indulgences. Ice cream is a little prepackaged tub. Chocolate is a single truffle to be savored. At that size, it can be worked into the overall daily calorie count without too much trauma.

    A goal. A custom made burgundy silk overbust corset with black Valenciennes lace is waiting for me at 160 pounds, and I so very much want that pretty thing.

    Don't go to sleep FULL or even satisfied. Go to sleep not having eaten in 2-3 hours. Ate a big/heavy dinner? Go for a walk (or jog/run.) Starting to feel the beginning of hunger? Drink a glass of water and go to bed! (2nd big secret: LOTS OF SLEEP!)

    Portion CONTROL! All food made by me, so I know whats in it and how much is in there.

    The mirror. It simultaneously inspires me with how far I've come and motivates me with how far I have yet to go.

    I often start snacking when I am bored, so then I go for a walk instead.

    90% homemade food.

    Food: Make you own meals, lots of natural protein and water -> lots of it

    Exercise: Cardio first (to get your heart rate up and help your body burn a max of fat) weights after (to strengthen and tone)

    When i want to eat something either not healthy or more than I should be I quick put my workout shoes on and get out the door (bike ride, walk, run) or jump into a workout dvd.... I don't think just instantly do it! that way i am getting my mind off of the food and a bonus, when I get back from my workout I have more motivation to eat healthy!

    the HARDEST part of doing this tho is to literally drop everything your doing and GET OUT THE DOOR!! :)

    All things in moderation! Don't be a slave to calorie counting (works for me).
