Beyond and above these great tips and ideas shared by Rowena, here are some practical guiding principles on Holistic Health & Weight Management as espoused by the wonderful women of WWN community:

-Learn to love who you are now and who you hope to become;

-Try to incorporate a physical activity or exercise routine. It may be walking, dancing, cycling, going to the gym etc

-As best as you can, avoid eating late into the night and always have a healthy snack(s) handy to assuage hunger pangs in between meals;

-Practice mindful grocery shopping and mindful eating ie be aware of what, when, where and how you eat. Be present! Make it a fun, sensual and spiritual exercise.

-Be very clear on why you want to be healthy (not flaky/vain reasons but link your reasons to family, quality of life etc); articulate and write down the little steps you will take to achieve your goals;

-Get together with people that share your goals and be accountable to each other;

-Take baby steps, the idea here is not to change overnight or go on a crash diet but rather to gradually ease into healthier lifestyle one day at a time.

-Do NOT diet. It never works in the long-term and may even make the situation worse. Look at the first three letter of the word (Die)t. Get the clue? Lol.!
