weight. It can help you avoid getting too hungry and snacking on unhealthy food
in between meals.

yourself regularly, like once a week, so you can keep a close eye on any
changes to your weight.

slipping back into your old ways, mix things up a bit. Buy a new healthy
cookbook or sign up for a fitness challenge like a 5k fun run.

diet and exercise regime. For example, is there a special occasion coming up

the average woman needs 2,000 calories a day to maintain their weight.
