Do Something Differently

If you always do what you've always done, you will get what you've always got.

You Are Stronger Than You Think

If you think you'll never have the willpower to create a healthier lifestyle and achieve permanent weight loss, then STOP thinking this way because it is not true...You have the strength to do just about anything you put your mind to. 

Choose ONE SMALL GOAL that you know you can achieve, and every day, start to practice the steps that would make that goal a reality. Your goal could be to eat from a smaller plate, or to exercise for 10 minutes more every day, or instead of five cookies a day you'll eat only two. You'll know your goal is too big if you keep failing at it, in this event choose an even smaller goal and keep practicing it DAILY for a month. At the end of that month choose a new small goal and start practicing this new goal daily as well. Within a year you will have acquired 12 brand new, permanent habits that will prove you do have the strength to change to a healthier lifestyle...and of course the added bonus to this healthier lifestyle is that you would have also found the key to PERMANENT weight loss.

You Can Break Your Bad Habits

Habits are sticky little critters that don't want to leave your life but the more you keep working to replace them with better habits the less sticky they become. Just keep on trying to break them; never, ever give up this quest. Your bad habits MUST eventually die if you WORK HARD to replace them with better ones.

Focus On One Step At A Time

Successful weight loss is made up of many, many small changes of habit; if you focus on changing your habits one or two at a time, you're more likely to achieve success than if you try to change all your habits at once, only to see yourself as a failure when you don't succeed.

One or two steps at a time is how even the tallest staircase is climbed.

Walk A Mile A Day

Small habits repeated daily can go a very long way. For example, walking for just a mile a day may not seem much at first, but if you walked a mile every day for a year, by the end of the year you would have walked 365 miles...in ten years you would have walked 3,650 miles. Imagine the benefits to your body, your respiratory system, your heart, your muscles, your joints and your weight, if you were to walk just one mile a day.

Calories Are Part Of The Equation

Your weight is a balancing act, and calories are part of that equation. Fad diets may promise you that counting carbs or eating a mountain of grapefruit will make the pounds drop off. But when it comes to weight loss, it's calories that count. But don't forget the bottom line: The key to successful weight loss is a commitment to making permanent changes in your diet and exercise habits.–Mayo Clinic

Permanently Change Your Eating Habits

You should think of weight loss in terms of permanently changing your eating habits. While weight-loss goals are usually set in terms of weeks, the end game is to sustain these changes over months and years, ie lifestyle change for life. -Dr John E T Pillinger

Starvation Diets Do Not Work

It can seem that a drastic reduction of calories is a viable method to shed pounds quickly but this is not a long term solution. The only long term solution to weight gain is to find ways to develop new habits. Take it slowly, change one thing about your eating and exercise at a time. Don't try to change all your habits at once. Habit change is the key.
