Work with a health care professional to figure out exactly how many calories you should be burning each day to keep up with your weight loss efforts. {} Even if you only allowed yourself to consume a few hundred calories each day (which is not something we recommend you try) you won’t lose weight if you aren’t exercising. Even if the hardest thing you do is going for a walk each afternoon, you’ll have more success with your weight loss. It bolsters your energy level (which helps burn calories), tones your muscles and helps keep you on track.

Don’t call your new efforts a “diet.” Instead, call it “making healthy choices” or something like that. The word “diet” has taken on a negative connotation. You are far less likely to resent your new eating habits if you call them something like “eating healthier” than if you call them “a diet.” Instead of using words associated with negative emotions, use positive and action based words to describe the choices you are making. This will help you to feel more proactive about what you’re doing and you’ll have an easier time telling people who might have started to wonder why you’re suddenly eating differently.
