1. Check Tumblr! 
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.
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.

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 food for the day,look under the fat burning food section on this site or you can eat something  like an apple. Cut it into 4 quarters. Eat one part for breakfast, one for lunch, one for 
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.

13. Drink a full cup of water.
14. Clean something gross the bathroom, or if you have cats - clean the litter box.

21. Freeze your foods. I freeze Gogurts - they’re so good frozen and take longer to eat this way.
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 say your going to eat it tomorrow for lunch. Then eat half of what’s on your plate and “forget” to ask them to bag it for take out for you. 
23. Eat breakfast and dinner. Always eat something right when you wake up and right before you sleep - it keeps your metabolism awake therefore it continues burning calories and fat.
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.

metabolism for a little.

32. Look at super models do they look like they eat? They eat very small meals many times a day but small meals girl!!

34. Make a meal plan with all the days and put the limit of calories you’ll allow yourself to after you eat write down what you ate. Keep a food diary
35. To keep a binge from coming go outside and go for a walk, do 20 push ups and then 20 jumping jacks after you won’t feel like eating anymore. Better yet, do them in front of the mirror. If you 
see what moves up and down you wont feel like eating as much.

53. Write a list of things you can do when you’re thinner!
54. Eat lots fiber. It burns fat AND makes you feel fuller than you are. (Wheetabix minis fruit and nut are a personal fave - 12 of them = 120 calories. They’re sweet and filling. I can eat ten and be done for the day. Eat 4 when you’re hungry and it can be a full days meal)
