    Hey, I think the most important thing is to realize that you CAN do this.

    It can be easy to give in if you feel you will never manage it anyway, but that is exactly why you aren't managing it. You have to believe in yourself and keep telling yourself that the reality is it actually WILL happen if you stick with it.

    Writing out a meal plan is always a good idea. That way you can be sure you're getting what you need; no more, no less. Make sure you stick to it to the letter.

    When you feel tempted to stray just think how you will feel afterwords. The enjoyment will be gone and you'll be left with the guilt. It isn't worth it.

    It's also a good idea to make sure you're eating foods you like. A diet will never be sustainable if you're having to give up all the enjoyable foods. Find healthy meals and snacks that you genuinely enjoy eating, and make provisions to include those unhealthy ones that can still be enjoyed as a treat every now and then.

    Never forget that you DO have the power to do this. It is just a matter of time and commitment, and if you stick at it then you honestly will get there.

    Good luck.
