Things which have worked in the past for me are, printing horrid photos of myself and nice ones and having them next to each other for comparison. Sticky notes with goals or motivational quotes on them. Just not having junk in the house or any spare money around to go and buy it with. Knowing what I will be eating, so a loose kind of meal plan, if not a propper written out menu (a la weight watchers). Weight watchers! Faking it til I make it, so just going through the motions and knowing what needs to be done until one day I realise it's become habbit and not so much effort any more.
