Just be patient. Small steps add up over time. Stick with your small steps.. If you waver from your plan, dump any guilt or feelings of failure. Start again where you left off. Take another look. Evaluate your progress every week or two. Update and change your plan if you need to. And, reward yourself, with whatever you like, but never with more food.
