Health and Diet
Invest in a kitchen scale, measuring cups and spoons. These tools will help ensure that you're not overeating. Portion control is critical when it comes to losing or maintaining weight. Learn how to estimate how much you should be eating by accurately measuring your food and before long, you'll be able to "eyeball" the amount you need.

Fitness:
Try to maintain proper posture. All the stretching in the world is not going to help if your postures are imbalanced and cause the muscles to tense on one side and overstretch on the other. You can also try holding your head as a natural extension of your spine with your shoulders down, neutral and relaxed.
