3. Find supportive friends
Willpower is one thing, but saying no to the birthday cake your best friend baked just for you is quite another. "Ongoing support is one of the most important factors in your continuous success with weight management," notes Judith Lederman, author of Joining the Thin Club (Three Rivers Press, 2007). Enlist the support of your friends and family in your quest for a healthier lifestyle. Let them know about the choices you're making in your life, and ask them to help you out, whether that be by bringing fruit and frozen yogurt for dessert instead of rich chocolate cake or by joining you on walks and in other fitness activities.
