Remember your “Joy of Weight Loss” food
plan. Pick foods that you will enjoy and remember to treat yourself to
a whole day of moderate, balanced eating from all the food groups. If
you’ll be going to a restaurant, allow yourself enough time to eat
slowly. If you’re cooking at home, carefully shop for foods that are whole and healthy.

Schedule some time to be active. I find that taking a brisk morning
walk, or going to the gym or recreation center first thing, to attend
an aerobics or dance class is one of the greatest gifts I can give
myself. Make moving your body a high priority; not an afterthought in
your day.
Also, be certain you do things that are going to bring you a lot of
joy. Being with family and friends, being by yourself or even doing
nothing at all can also bring you a lot of peace and joy.
