    Don't eliminate an entire food. If it hits my macros I'm eating it!

    Eat to live, not to make yourself feel better.

    Realize that you're worth it, nobody is perfect, and life is too short to spend it beating yourself up.

    Plan your meals in advance, that way you have everything laid out for you and you have no excuse not to stick with it. Also, eat snacks in between meals! This will keep you from ever getting too hungry, and less likely to make bad food choices.

    Best tip I heard/read: Eat like a king at breakfast, a queen at lunch and a peasant at dinner. (has to do with meal sizes) Not everyone agrees with this, but it works for me both in terms of energy, sleep quality and weight loss.

    Best thing I've figured out: plan and log meals in advance.

    Bought some fun kids' stickers, made a special calendar to track my exercise days and every day I exercise, even if it's low-intensity, such as a moderate walk, I give myself one. I also track my weight on it. Once you get the line of stickers going you don't want to break it and it's colorful and happy so it makes me feel good to see that I am making my goals!

    When I want to snack and actually be filled up...

    2 Tbsp = 190 Calories

    Have food on hand that is GOOD for you. If all you have nearby is BAD food, you're likely to eat it....

    best tip i ever heard: do not diet, change your lifestyle. continue to eat the foods you love, but in moderation. if you love cupcakes, then have one every couple of months for a special treat. don't cut anything out of your life entirely (unless you have a real health issue) this way, you don't cheat. my life has changed so drastically since i started working-out and eating healthy. instead of eating fast food 5-6 times per week and having at least 3000 calories per day, i now work-out 6 days per week and eat approx 1200-1400 calories per day of HEALTHY foods. last weekend i enjoyed a chili dog with my son - i enjoyed it b/c i used to eat like that every.single.day and now i can appreciate the good taste, yet still remain healthy. i guess the bottom line is: diets don't work, but healthy lifestyles do. :smile:

    Do it for yourself and not for anyone else. Do because you want to, and more than just believing you can, KNOW that you can!
