You paste that terribly unflattering side view photo on the refrigerator (you know, the one that shows your expanding mid-section and an extra flap underneath your chin). You get rid of all the junk in your kitchen, buy the "good" foods that fit the latest diet plan you have selected, and you dust off your exercise equipment. You have a plan and you are determined to implement it.
