If you read and listen to the book and its advice, you will succeed. Nothing worth having ever came easy.

Make this a new way of living and don't think of it as a 'diet' it's not a quick fix, and believing it is may be setting yourself up for failure. the weight did not go on overnight, don't expect it to come off overnight.Jen, 39, F

Don't take that first bite of temptation
- the cheat is NOT worth it and it can be he11 getting back on the wagon, staying there and recapturing that feeling of "I can do this! Wow! Woooo hoooooo!" .

PLAN AHEAD!! It always helps to have a game plan. Know what you are going to eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. Keep something pre-cooked in the fridge for your weak moments (ie. coming home from work starving, dinner won't be ready for 30 minutes - snack on your premade food so that you don't binge on the family's carb foods).
