If you’re not sleeping enough, you may be tempted to snack at night. Getting too little sleep will also leave you feeling tired and drained, which makes it harder to stay active during the day. Try to get to bed early enough every night so that you can get at least 8-10 hours of sleep.  Try to go to bed and wake up at the same times every day.  Practice good sleep hygiene by turning off bright screens at least half an hour before bed and keeping your room quiet, dark, and comfortable at night. Try establishing a relaxing bedtime routine, like doing yoga, meditating, reading, or taking a warm bath or shower before bed. Stress can sap your energy and make you want to overeat. The process of losing weight can also be stressful, so find ways to help yourself relax and unwind. Some good stress-relieving activities include:   Meditating and doing deep breathing exercises  Doing yoga Spending time with friends, family, and pets Going for walks and spending time outdoors Doing creative activities or working on hobbies Being body positive doesn’t mean that you have to be happy with everything about your body. Instead, focus on loving and respecting your body, accepting its quirks and unique features, and looking for ways to care for it.  Think of your body as a friend or loved one. Treat it kindly. Instead of focusing on achieving an “ideal” weight or body type, think in terms of what you can do to stay healthy and feeling good. Losing weight is a long process. To do it safely and effectively, you’ll need to commit to permanent lifestyle changes. For most people, it’s healthy and realistic to aim for losing 1–2 pounds (0.45–0.91 kg) per week. It’s normal for your weight loss to slow down and even stop eventually after you start a new diet and exercise routine. If this happens and you still need to lose more weight, don’t get discouraged. Ask your doctor if you can safely cut more calories or increase your physical activity level. Occasional setbacks are a normal part of the weight loss process. If you slip up and eat too much or forget to exercise for a few days, don’t beat yourself up. Instead, gently steer yourself back to your healthy routine and move on. If you’re upset with yourself because you recently gained back a couple pounds, look back at your overall weight loss since you first started instead. It’s normal and expected that you’ll have occasional ups and downs in your weight.

Summary:
Get at least 8-10 hours of good sleep per night. Try stress-relieving activities. Be body positive. Expect slow progress when you’re losing weight. Take it easy on yourself if you slip up.
