BE GOOD TO YOURSELF.

对自己好一点。

To be successful losing weight, you can't beat yourself up when you break down and splurge one day, or don't end up getting the exercise in you'd planned, or lose the weight you wanted to in a week. Cooking Light Diet member Nicole Kessler says that not getting frustrated² by slower weight loss is key. "When I first started I only weighed myself once every 10-14 days. I used to be able to lose weight very quickly, but now that I am older, it is much slower. I knew that it would frustrate¹ me to step on the scale after feeling so hungry and not seeing rapid results. ...[Just] make sure to be loving to yourself-patient and forgiving." Because the road to a healthier lifestyle isn't as smooth as glass, it's bumpy³ and full of potholes⁵. Just don't give up the journey when you hit a pothole⁴. You've got this!

若想成功减肥，那就不能在放纵挥霍一天后自责不已，也不能不按照计划锻炼，更别想在一周内减到理想体重。清食烹饪（Cooking Light Diet）的会员妮可·凯斯勒表示，减肥成效缓慢时不感到沮丧是减肥成功的关键。"开始减肥的时候，我每隔10至14天称一次体重。以前，我能快速瘦下来，但现在年纪大了，越来越难瘦。我知道，在自己很饿的时候称重但却没有看到立竿见影的效果时，我的内心是崩溃的。但请记得：要爱自己--对自己耐心点、宽容点。"因为通往健康生活方式的道路并非一帆风顺，这条道路凹凸不平、坑坑洼洼。但遇到困难时，不要中途放弃，你会成功的！

日常减肥小妙招.png

KEEP A FOOD DIARY.

记录日常饮食。

It helps to visualize⁶ what you eat and do day-to-day so you have a better understanding of what works on your journey. Carmen Leon says keeping a record of her meals has been enlightening⁷. "I find that meal planning is everything...[and] I also keep a food diary. I write down everything I eat, my exercise for the day...this has helped me so much as well."

这种做法使你的饮食透明化，每天记录有助于让你明白--哪些食物能帮助减肥。卡门·莱昂说道，记录日常饮食给她带来了启发。"我发现，饮食计划就是一切，我也一直在写日记，记录我的饮食、当天的锻炼情况等，这种方式在很大程度上推动了我的减肥计划。"

BE SELF-AWARE.

自觉。

Know your limitations, your weaknesses, your pitfalls… Community member Elyssia Marshall Mathias says this is vital. "That was key: Being honest with yourself and realizing which foods are without brakes. Then don't buy it." Mathias says that no matter how well she does, she knows she can't buy "Cheetos, potato chips, Mayfield Moose Tracks ice cream, peanut butter cookies, etc."...so she doesn't. You know yourself better than anyone, so know which foods are nonstarters on your healthier lifestyle journey.

了解自己的底线、弱点和易掉入的坑……社区成员艾莉西亚·马歇尔·马赛厄斯说这一点非常重要。"这是关键所在：对自己坦诚，知道自己对哪些食物没有抵抗力。所以不去购买这些食物。"马赛厄斯说，不管减肥成效如何，她都知道自己不能买"奇多、薯片、梅菲尔德Moose Tracks系列冰淇淋、花生酱饼干等等"，所以她不去买。你比任何人都要了解你自己，所以你清楚的知道在通往健康生活方式的道路上，哪些食物是拦路虎。

HAVE A SUPPORT GROUP IN PLACE.

有人支持自己。

Anne Ritchie says that having support and encouragement from others trying to reach weight loss goals has been paramount⁸ to her own success. "The thing that helped me the most in my weight loss journey is this wonderfully supportive group of people.

安妮·里奇说，有人支持自己、鼓励自己是她自身减肥成功的关键。"减肥的过程中，给我最多帮助的就是那一群非常支持我的人。"
