1. Start by setting realistic goals for yourself and make sure they're achievable.
2. Make healthy eating choices the cornerstone of your diet.
3. Plan ahead and prepare meals in advance so you don't have to rely on take-out or unhealthy snacks.
4. Find ways to reward yourself when you meet your goals.
5. Get enough sleep each night to give your body the rest it needs to stay energized throughout the day.
