2: Scale back your eating, just a little. Slowly remove the bad foods from your diet.

3: Drink more fluids. Slowly increase your water intake until you reach 10-12 cups daily.

4: Plan a schedule on paper. Write out all the activities you perform during a 3-day stretch. You need 3 full days so that you may objectively review where your time is spent.

5: Begin to subtract the activities that aren’t good for you. Refer to your daily schedule and ruthlessly remove those activities that are holding you in place. Maybe it’s too much TV. Maybe it’s eating too many late night snacks.

6: Spend time everyday thinking about how much you’re going to weigh some time in the near future. Dwell on those thoughts. What you dwell upon repeatedly will soon become your reality.

7: Repeat steps 1-6. Losing weight is a continuous action. It takes repetitive forward action, over and over again until you reach your goal.
