Taking advice to the extreme.  Do not get paranoid about your food.

Don't be in a hurry to lose weight.  If it takes you two years or more - so what!  Set
yourself a goal and keep to it.  Do not aim to high to begin with - take each day as it comes.  That way the extra weight loss, that will come will be an added bonus.

Do not fall for clever food labelling tactics, For example products that claim to be 85 per cent fat free still contain 15 per cent fat!

Feeling guilty.  Don't worry about days when you haven't eaten particularly healthily.  All foods can fit into a healthy diet, so don't feel bad about what you have or haven't eaten.  Once you start feeling guilty about food it is easy to give up all your positive plans and     ambitions for the future.

Don't be put off by jealous people and their candid remarks.

Don't look back, if you have a bad day put it behind you and take each day as it comes.

Don't hide under leggings and baggy t-shirts once the weight starts to come off.

Don't feel you are a martyr to the fridge all the time.  If you want a glass of wine or a treat have it. 

Try not to go shopping when you are hungry.

Don't buy snacks to eat whilst cooking the dinner .

Always eat fruit and yoghurt if you are hungry.
