Pamper yourself. Whenever you feel the urge to eat, do something to yourself that will make you feel or look better. You can do your nails, get a massage, do your hair, soak in a bubble bath with candles and classical music, read a good book in a comfy spot, pick flowers for your pamper time, light candles, use a masque, floss and brush your teeth, take a nap, etc.
1. Keep a thinspiration book. Get a really nice journal and print pictures of skinny models, tips, quotes, or workouts, and glue it in there. Look through it whenever you want to binge.
2. Keep a stack of magazines weighing the same amount you want to lose. When you lose weight remove some magazines from the stack. It will be thinspirational to see that pile slowly start to get smaller. Use fashion magazines so that they also can inspire you as you remove as you lose.
3. Eat on a blue or black plate. Dark colors usually make you feel fuller, faster. Better yet, eat on small dark plates.
4. When you want to eat something you shouldn't, make a list of all the reasons you shouldn't, and read it at least 20 times.
5. When you get a craving, count to 100 really slowly, and it might pass. Dr's say that counting changes the minds direction in thought.
6. If you live by yourself, put up motivational pictures or numbers on the unsafe foods. Stick your goal weight on the wall or on your favorite jar of peanut butter or jelly.
7. Get one of those three ring binders and make a section for each part of the body. Put all the exercises you've got in there according to what body part there for.
8. Pick one healthy snack food for the day, look under the fat burning food section or you can eat something like an apple. Cut it into 4 quarters. Eat one part with breakfast, one with lunch, one with dinner, and you've got one left over for a snack.
9. Take a Polaroid picture or a cell phone picture of yourself wearing nothing but your underwear. When you want to binge, look at it, and see all that fat that you need to get rid of? Carry it in your wallet or phone whenever you go somewhere where there will be food.
10. If you live by yourself and prone to binges, buy only the food you need for the day. That way if you eat it, there isn't anymore.
11. Eat with the opposite hand you normally do. Left handed people eat with their right hand, and vice versa.
12. Wear a rubber band around your wrist and snap it when you want to eat. You'll train yourself not to think about eating.

21. Freeze your foods. I freeze fruits and yogurts and flavored ice cubes. Frozen yogurts take forever to eat so you feel occupied longer.
22. When you go to a restaurant order something that's not too unhealthy. Put half of to the other side of the plate and save it for lunch tomorrow. If you forget to ask them to bag it or forget to take it with you don't worry. Or cut your plate in half and push the other half to the other side of the plate, then cover it with something gross like salt and pepper.
23. Eat earlier in the day, be sure to have breakfast and lunch or early dinner, but never eat supper cause if you eat supper you don't give your body enough time to burn off the calories. Finish the last bit of eating at least four hours before you go to sleep. This way your metabolism will burn it up before you get into bed.
24. Go shopping and try on clothes that you wish you could fit you and that should keep you focused and on track of your goals.

Staying up long hours puts strain on the body and it starts to store fat because it feels the strain. 6-8 hours is best and you will see the weight come off faster if you get enough sleep.

128. At all times remember this: there really is no reason to feel hungry unless you want to feel that way; because there are more than enough vegetables and fruits in the world to provide you with good nutrition and a sastisfied stomach. Many vegetables are catabolic -- they actually require more calories to digest than they provide. That is a case where eating undressed naked food actually helps your weight loss. Helping with weight loss and increased nutrition most are naked, undressed: green lettuces and cruciferous vegetables, onions, berries, mushrooms, and beans/legumes. Eat those foods with abandon.

105. This is a Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen trick... Put red lipstick on perfectly. If you eat it will get all messed up and all over your teeth.
106. If you have to taste it.... do it chew it and spit it out! Please do not make this a habit! It is really gross!
107. Three words: Brush your teeth. Here’s the deal. You definitely cannot eat while you’re brushing for 2 full minutes. You can have several minutes of not being able to eat! If you brush instead of eating, you will lose the taste for food and want to keep your mouth clean. It’s perfect
108.. Ride out the hour. When you start to get hungry, just tell yourself that you’ll wait until the end of the hour to eat anything. That way you’ll have time to think about whether or not you really want those calories, and you’ll also feel really powerful since you’ve proved to yourself that you can go for that time without food.
109. Exercise before you eat. It will give you more time to think over what you really want to eat, and when you do eat you’ll be more comfortable with it since you just burned some calories.
110. Lower the temperature in the room where you sleep at night.
111.If you’re at work, schedule meetings or work around meal times. You can’t eat in and work can you?
112. Remember how hard you have worked to get this far... keep it up.
113.Think about how you can buy any clothes you want because everything will look good on you this will stop you!
114.You don’t want to be ‘the chubby girl’ in your group of friends try thinking about that.
115.Stop yourself before you eat and think about what you are doing. Time it..... The cravings for food can pass sometimes in as little as 9 seconds.
116. The 3 S's SUANA! STEAM! SWEAT! 20 Minutes in a deep sweat in the suana/steam room and you can diminish puffiness and get rid of nasty toxins.
117. Wear heavy shoes. This type of shoe makes it harder for you to lift your legs thus giving your legs and tummy a real workout!
118.Avoid White Colored Foods.... sugar, potato, milk, cheese... etc.
119. Try to do more... be the one to get up and get the drinks for your friends. Instead of saying, "while you're up, can you get me this?" Be the person who asks "can I get you anything while I am up?".. this keeps you busy and active.
120. The French Trick... Take 3 bites of everything on your plate and that is it... taste it all savor those bites and finish.
121. Eat half and throw the rest away. You wont eat anything out of the garbage... please don't. This sounds wasteful but it is a good trick to show some restraint against yourself indulgence.
122. It takes 4 hours sometimes for your body to start to really digest the food you have eaten.... try not to eat in between those times... and remember this before you go to bed. Set a time when the kitchen and eating is off limits for the day ... make it 4 hours before bedtime.
123. Remember to get enough sleep.... This is key to losing weight. Staying up long hours puts strain on the body and it starts to store fat because it feels the strain. 6-8 hours is best and you will see the weight come off faster if you get enough sleep. This also gives the muscles a chance to rejuvenate.. which gives your body a fit and slimmer look!
124. When losing weight the areas of your body that have extra fat..... like your boobs that will get saggy looking, wear moisturizer with MSM and bathe with MSM soap and take MSM supplements. MSM helps keep your skin supple and elastic.
125.Eat melons.... not only are they yummy but because they are an alkaline food they prevent you from getting sick and settle the stomach first thing in the morning better for you actually than the grapefruit which is an acidic food!
126. Eat a fruit for breakfast and nothing else... this is what the Fit for Life diet plan is based on. I do this anyway, but in case you didn't know it.. fruit in the morning makes the digestive system pick up speed... also exercise before you eat breakfast.. this also burns more calories.... calories in burn them out!
127. Remember that you can't take an escalator to success you have to take the stairs.
128. At all times remember this: there really is no reason to feel hungry unless you want to feel that way; because there are more than enough vegetables and fruits in the world to provide you with good nutrition and a sastisfied stomach. Many vegetables are catabolic -- they actually require more calories to digest than they provide. That is a case where eating undressed naked food actually helps your weight loss. Helping with weight loss and increased nutrition most are naked, undressed: green lettuces and cruciferous vegetables, onions, berries, mushrooms, and beans/legumes. Eat those foods with abandon.
