I recently lost 40 lbs. I used to feel compelled to finish what I had on my plate. Especially if it tasted good! But STOP when you're satisfied, not when you're full. Exercise, even if it means parking farther away at the grocery store, or using stairs instead of elevators. Don't give up & binge on sweets and fatty foods. Snack on pretzel sticks,which are fat free, raw veggies, or chew gum.
Good Luck!!

eat only when you're hungry...eat regular foods, not too much junk, but don't let yourself starve. do a little exercise every now and then to give yourself a little tone!

find excercises that you enjoy so you will continue to do them.

eat right and exercise
