Don’t let your mind hold you back from a healthy body.
There is such a state as ‘mind over matter,’ and this can be your enemy or your friend when you have weight loss goals. It’s easy to let your mental state dictate what you can or cannot do, but there are ways to reignite your focus for the better.
Try not to be a Negative Nellie
Learn to love yourself! If you haven’t met your goals or have fallen by the wayside, it’s easy to be hard on yourself. Putting yourself down because of a perceived failure will send you deeper into not accomplishing what you want. Instead, reward yourself for your commitment to better health. Remind yourself of all you’ve done and keep a journal of what you want to accomplish – and write it down when you do. Read it often as a reminder – and again, learn to love yourself no matter what stage you’re at.
