Believe You Can

What is your belief about your future weight? Do you believe you'll lose weight or do you believe you'll just get bigger? Whatever you believe tends to become a self-fulfilling prophecy. You can change your negative beliefs by recognizing that successful weight loss is a process which involves a GRADUAL change in your eating and exercise lifestyle.

Remind yourself that others have succeeded at changing their lifestyle and so can you. Remind yourself that there are many other areas in your own life that you have already changed in the past, and if you can change those things you can make changes to your diet and your activity levels too. Successful weight loss is a bit of a mind game and one of the first moves in that game is to increase your belief that you really CAN do it.
