Positive Weight Loss Approach

Once you have made up your mind to lose weight, you should make that
commitment and go into it with a positive attitude. We all know that
losing weight can be quite a challenge. In fact, for some, it can be
downright tough. It takes time, practice and support to change
lifetime habits. But it's a process you must learn in order to
succeed. It is said that if you do something for 21 days it will
become a habit. You and you alone are the one who has the power to
lose unwanted pounds.

Think like a winner, and not a loser--remember that emotions are
like muscles and the ones you use most grow the strongest. If you
always look at the negative side of things, you'll become a
downbeat, pessimistic person. Even slightly negative thoughts have a
greater impact on you and last longer than powerful positive
thoughts.

Negative thinking doesn't do you any good, it just holds you back
from accomplishing the things you want to do. When a negative
thought creeps into your mind, replace it reminding yourself that
you're somebody, you have self-worth and you possess unique
strengths and talents. Contemplate what lies ahead of you. Losing
weight is not just about diets. It's about a whole new you and the
possibility of creating a new life for yourself. Investigate the
weight loss programs that appeal to you and that you feel will teach
you the behavioral skills you need to stick with throughout the
weight-loss process.

First you should look for support among family and friends. It can
be an enormous help to discuss obstacles and share skills and
tactics with others on the same path. You might look for this
support from others you know who are in weight loss programs and you
can seek guidance from someone you know who has lost weight and kept
it off. There are success stories across the country today on
television and in newspapers, magazines and tabloids about people
who have miraculously lost untold pounds and kept it off. In all
instances they say their mental attitude as well as their outlook on
life has totally changed. -Ralph Marston
