Its now time to get your mind right and realize you are not as young as you used to be so put down the extra piece of cheesecake and go for a walk!
2. Eat exactly what you need

This tip alone will save you hundreds of calories every meal. If you want to try all the courses, have small portions of everything you really want.

Give up the couch this summer, get out the spandex. If you really can't get to the gym, do a few exercises at home or go out walking. It will not just use up calories, it will keep you in touch with your desire to stay slim and healthy. Also keep as active as possible as you go about your day.
4. Trash Day
had to get the doublestuff Oreos because you had a coupon, time to clear out the cabinets. This is the single best tip you can put into place today. Why? Lets say you do get that craving to eat the entire pint of Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia, if you don't have it in the house, then you are less likely to go out and get it.
5. Catch a mellow vibe!
Stress makes us do crazy things to our bodies, smoke, drink, and oh yes, eat. You have as many reasons to reduce your stress levels as you do reasons to get that frapacino with its one thousand calories. This is the single most reason we have weight issues, the classic nervous eater. If you can just realize that you are eating for no other reason than you need something to do to expend the energy, you will be hundreds of calories ahead of the game. Good luck and live life like you mean it!
