Remember to celebrate the goals you achieve, even if it's something small, like eating more vegetables at lunch. You don't have to go all out, but simply treating yourself to a new piece of clothing, or taking some extra time to relax can be deeply rewarding. Celebrating reinforces that what you're accomplishing is important, and — yes! — you can be successful at it. What's the next goal you plan on reaching? How will you celebrate?

Eating out for lunch is convenient, especially if you work away from home. However, restaurant food can be shockingly high in calories. How often do you eat lunch out? Do you try to make healthy choices? What can you do to incorporate more food groups into your lunch?

Food journaling may seem like a chore, but it can be fun! Add doodles, pictures, and notes to yourself. Just write down all the foods (yes, every sugar packet in your coffee) you eat for a week, or even just a day. And no cheating! This is a private journal, just for you, so be honest. Try some of these category ideas: Food, Quantity, Time, Current Mood. When you're done, tell us what you've learned from this experience. Did anything surprise you? Did you find any patterns? Did the journal help you stay on track?
