• Turn on the mental switch that says you are going to lose weight. You have to want to lose weight. If you don't want to lose weight, forget it. You can't do it for someone else. You have to want to do it for yourself. If you really care about your health, well being, longevity, personal looks, and your family, then you should have no problem turning on the switch.

• Take some pictures of yourself. Put one somewhere so it is visible. If you dare, place it on the refrigerator door, or right inside the refrigerator. Keep some other pictures in a drawer for later reference of what you "used to" look like.

• Close your eyes and visualize yourself at the weight you want to be. Do this for about a minute or so, every morning if possible. Self-visualization is an extremely powerful tool and should not be pooh-poohed. Give it a try, everything is worth a try. Imagine what you will look like. Visualize your better overall health, the ease at which you will move around without getting out of breath, the less time spent at the doctors, the less pulled muscles, the less indigestion, the smiling looks when you walk by, the less sweating you will do, the lower food bills, the no-more bloated feeling, the forever gone feeling of guilt when you eat. And on an on and on. You are not losing weight for the sake of losing weight, you are working toward the experience you will feel after the weight is gone. The benefits are what it is all about. And you really won't know how great it is until you get there. It's like trying to explain the benefits of using a computer to someone who has never used one, and doesn't care to because they are afraid of the challenge. Once they experience it, they understand what it is all about.

• Read as much as you can in the Diet / Weight Loss / Fitness Home Page, which led you here. There is an incredible amount of information linked to the page. No question will be unanswered. Come and read the information whenever you get the urge to eat. Try some of the suggestions, something will surely work for you. There are a lot of thoughts and ideas on what works and what doesn't, some even conflict. At least you will have all the opinions, and you can try what works best for you.

• Just DO IT. If you haven't already made a personal commitment, maybe now is the time. Close your eyes, and grab a hold of that mental switch..........
