    Log every bite, every day, and ideally *before* you eat it so you can adjust the portion before you blow it; don't quit, no matter how far you think you've fallen "off the wagon". If you are logging, you are not "off" - you may get bumped around on the ride, but as long you don't quit, a week later it's never as bad as you thought.

    treat yourself every day (preferible low in calories)
    every day I have ice cream, or peanut M&M resees... I try to make my dessert no more than 250 calories, usually they are 120 calories... If I don't have it chocolate every day, I get in a bad mood, makes me eat more, and get bad cravings....
  • My biggest rule for myself is that I want to lose weight eating the same foods I plan to maintain it on. So no cutting anything out, no food group specific diets. I've lost the 36lbs I have eating everything I ate before just in moderation. It's made it much easier for me to stick to!
