Weight Loss Tip #81 - Be honest with yourself
In order to have long term success with any weight loss plan, you need to be honest with yourself. You need to set short term goals which are attainable, follow them with determination and put forth the effort to succeed. Everyone slips up from time to time and it takes courage to learn from your mistakes. Ask yourself what made you foul up and how you can avoid this in the future. If you have a cheat day, don't think your entire weight loss plan is ruined. Get right back on your plan the next day and stay focused.

Weight Loss Tip #82 - Doggy bags are good
When you're dining out and become satisfied after eating some of your meal, ask your server to box up the remainder and save it for another meal later. Don't think you have to eat everything on your plate not matter what. Eat slowly and enjoy every bite of your food. It takes approximately 20 minutes after you start eating for your body to fully understand it’s full, so let your body digest the food and after a while, see if you're satisfied. If so, ask for the doggie bag.

Weight Loss Tip #83 - Choose single serving snacks
Single serving snack can be very helpful to monitor your portion sizes and help you on your weight loss plan. Psychologically, this can go a long way toward preventing you from overeating. This is extremely important with junk foods like potato chips. If you have a craving for chips and need to have a few, pick up a single serving bag and enjoy. Whatever you do, don’t buy the regular size bag because you will just be tempting yourself to binge and your stomach usually wins out.

Weight Loss Tip #84 - Moderation is the key
Moderation is one of the keys to successful weight loss. Weight loss maintenance is about finding a healthy eating pattern that you can follow for a lifetime. When you're following your nutritional plan and want to eat something which is not healthy but you have been craving it for a while, practice moderation and enjoy your favorite food. If you enjoy cheesecake, have a small piece and eat it slowly so you can truly enjoy each bite. This practice of eating in moderation will teach yourself to avoid out of control bingeing episodes and you will gain control over food.

Weight Loss Tip #85 - Keep visual motivational reminders
Visual reminders can really help motivate and inspire you to stay on your weight loss plan. Cut out pictures of your ideal body and put them on your bathroom mirror, bedroom night stand or your office desk. These will remind you what your physical goals are and keep you on track to reach them. It's important to note that although this technique is a great motivator, you should not strive to look exactly like the pictures you choose as inspiration. Know that everyone's bodies are different and genetics play a big part with the way your physique will appear in shape and symmetry. Work hard to get the best body you can achieve within your limits.

Weight Loss Tip #86 - Don’t fall for peer pressure
Peer pressure is extremely hard to deal with when trying to stick to your weekly goals for a solid weight loss plan. Many of your friends may question what your doing when you go out to lunch or dinner with them. They will wonder why you are not eating your regular double cheeseburger with fries or large pizza. The best thing to do is explain you have made a decision to live a healthier life and you hope they will support you with your weight loss plan. If they don't understand this or continue to pressure you into tempting situations where high fat, high sugar and high calorie foods exist, then it's probably best to choose different locations to eat and plan your time with your friends away from dining experiences. True friends should completely understand your position and help you succeed with your new healthy lifestyle.

Weight Loss Tip #87 - Visualize for success
The human brain is one of the most incredible creations on earth and it’s been gifted with the wonderful ability to imagine. Visualization has much to do with our success in setting goals. When you set goals for yourself, the key to achieving them is to visualize yourself accomplishing them. Visualizing success is important for two reasons. First, the mind thinks in terms of pictures. Second, the subconscious mind drives much of our behavior. The subconscious does not know the difference between something that is real and something that is vividly imagined, so whatever picture you consistently think about will drive you to create that exact reality.

A great visualization technique is to spend 10 minutes every night while lying in bed with your eyes closed and visualize in detail how you want your body to look. Start from the ground up and focus your visualization on how you want your legs to look, and then move up to your hips and thighs. Focus attention on your midsection, then your chest arms and shoulders. Finally, visualize your new lean and vibrant face.

Weight Loss Tip #88 - Get motivated with friends
One of the biggest motivational factors for succeeding with your weight loss plan is to have others involved with you. When someone else has the same goals as you do, it's easier to succeed. You will have someone to push you when you need it, and also have emotional support when times get tough. Get your friends involved and watch your weight loss improve!

Weight Loss Tip #89 - Watch those nuts
Nuts are a nutrition superstar, but not for the individual who wants to succeed on a weight loss plan. Nuts are packed with protein and the good kind of fat (monounsaturated), as well as a hard to get nutrient, vitamin E. Unfortunately, nuts are a real calorie killer. A cup of nuts has a whopping 800-900 calories, while a cup of popcorn has only 50 calories, and a cup of raw vegetables has only 25 calories! Nuts are definitely a healthy addition to the diet, but make sure to keep your portions very small!

Weight Loss Tip #90 - Don't be a binger
Binge eating (also called compulsive overeating) is different from normal appetite increases or overeating now and then. With binge eating, you feel out of control and powerless to stop eating while you're doing it. With binge eating, you may feel a very strong compulsion to overeat. Regular binge eating may lead to low energy, low self-esteem and depression. If you think you may have a binge eating disorder, it's very important to seek the help from a psychologist or therapist who can help you understand the connections between emotions, thoughts, and eating behaviors. These professionals can also help you learn healthy ways to respond to stress and deal with compulsions.
