1) She must change her eating habits

- Quit to junk food
- Limit the intake of chocolate
- Include vegetables in her meals
- Create a diet with limited calories, with healthy food, inlcuding some of her favorite snacks (not junk food)
- Include carbs, proteins, fat and limited sugar.
- Count calories

2) She must icrease the exercise

- The goal is to exercise moderately during 150 minutes per week

- For example: more walk, climbing stairs, going to the park, do some sport., dance, etc.

-The exercise must no be vigorous, just moderate. The intensity may increase in steps of 10%, every two weeks.

3) Psicolological help

- Self-motivation
- Family and friends support
- Measure her weight frequently
- Go to a psicology if it is necessary
- Reward herself for short accomplishments
