Try to stay away from your trigger foods, as one often turns into ten.

I agree, I only do cheat meals...

Always remain optimistic, no matter what!

And what shiv said, which is Ditch. The. Guilt. VERY sage advice.

I agree with Berry . . . SLEEP is VERY important to weight loss.

For me, it is the difference between losing weight and hitting stalls. I have to get a minimum of 6 hours sleep to have a chance of any type of weight loss to show the next morning.

And I can have a night where I get less than 3 hours sleep (fairly common in my job) and be up 2 lbs when I weigh in the next morning!

I simply do not weigh if I have had less than 6 hours sleep, it's a totally artificial number, and sabotages my efforts.

Sleep is king.
