When I first started my diet I went on the public library website and read through the descriptions of all the diet books they had then made a list of the ones I wanted to read. The website allows you to create lists once you have a library card # and pin. They are saved in your account for whenever you want to review them. You can even add comments! So, I use my account to keep track of the books I read and whether I liked them. This began my addiction to diet/ healthy living books. On average I read 2 healthy living/ diet books a month. If I really like the book and want it for future reference I then buy it at the book store to add to my personal library.
I also started watching TV shows that could educate me and/or give me the inspiration to stick to my diet. My two favorites are the Doctor Oz Show (knowledge) and Dance Your Ass Off (inspiration and new dance moves).
I also subscribed to Shape magazine and Weight Watchers magazine. The articles inspire me and keep me on track. Shape magazine has great exercise and diet tips and Weight Watchers magazine has great recipes and inspirational stories.
Lastly, I started renting exercise videos. I always wanted to learn self defense so most of them are martial arts type videos. If you have a netflix account there are an enormous amount of exercise videos available for streaming. Books, TV shows, magazines and videos have given me such great knowledge and understanding of nutrition and exercise. So educate yourself! Read a book, watch a TV show, subscribe to a magazine, or rent a video!
