Have you fallen off the diet wagon? Well, here's how to get back in shape.

Seeing Is Believing

Definitely do not punish yourself for pigging out. It happens. Instead, visualize yourself at the ideal weight you want to be and start back on that positive track once again. Keeping a diet diary is very helpful. —Kathy

I put a picture of what I want to look like on the wall in front of my computer. Others might like it on the refrigerator. I did too. But my daughter is vegan, and it upset her to see this beautiful woman wearing tight-fitting leathers. —Cindy

I take pictures of myself every month, wearing the same outfit, in the same corner of the house. This way I can evaluate my progress. If I need a jump start, I look at how far I've come.

Do some deep "belly breathing"  yoga or tai chi style — try to focus only on your breath; but if you have to "concentrate" on something, visualize yourself as healthy and curvy (not model-skinny) and see yourself doing an activity you enjoy, or focus on something you've done recently that someone really appreciated you for. —Jackie

Out of Sight, Out of Mind

Stock up on healthy food in your kitchen, and make it quick and easy to munch on. You can still have Snackwells or low-fat yogurt and other healthier "cheat foods." The object is not to overeat these items just because you think you can due to their lower fat content. It is calories, calories and calories in the long run that add the extra pounds. —Kathy
