6. You have to believe that you can do it. Dreams turn into reality very quickly when you believe.
7. Don’t try to lose weight. The number one indicator of excessive weight gain in the future is attempting to lose weight in the past. Don’t diet, it won’t last. Instead get up and start feeling fabulous.
8. Start to wear clothes that mak your body look its best. It may be a slighlty larger size, but it's much better to wear a larger size and feel fabulous, than wearing dumpy clothes that make you feel horrible about your body.

20. Celebrate your success! New clothes, pedicures, manicures and thousands other pampering delights make awesome rewards to celebrate your accomplishments.
21. Measure your success. One fabulous way to measure your success is to take your measurements. Sometimes your scale won’t budge but your waistline will.
22. Eat slowly and absolutely savour every bite.
