Tips for managing your weight: What to do when…

I feel like I have so much weight to lose and I get discouraged even getting started

I really like flavored coffee drinks and they are such a treat for me in the morning

I’m so hungry when I get home in the evening that I eat everything that is not “nailed down”, and then I eat dinner

I hate to weigh myself and I want to throw out my home scale

Every time I “diet” I feel so deprived of my favorite foods, and then I “pig out” on every sweet thing I can get my hands on
