partner up
My secret is to partner up. There is always someone who wants and needs to loose weight. Be sure to pick someone that is actually serious about it though, not just saying it.

Beating Ol' Ronald the Clown McDonald with a Carrot!!!
380 some odd calories left N my day & I get the sensational urge 4 a McDonald's Cheeseburger. My husband calls after leaving the gym & I half begging explain my sudden craving. It doesn't help that Aunt Flo is here 4 a visit along with another unwanted guest, leaving me miserable N bed. But thx 2 my hubby's gentle reminder that Mickey D's is not on my diet, I was able 2 redirect & steam 3 delicious carrots & heat up a pot of beans instead. Turns out all I was really craving was something hot.
