Weight Loss Tip: Mind over matter in dieting

When you are dieting never concentrate on the entire amount of weight loss that you want to achieve. Even if it is only 5 or 10 lbs. It is much better to tell yourself that this week you would like to lose one pound. This is a very realistic goal and you won't feel overwhelmed at the total amount. I have also found that if I visualize the scale dropping down it helps me stay on track.

A great deal of dieting is in our heads not in our bellies. A positive attitude, visualization, and an achievable goal are all ingredients for success. Last but not least, don't give up if you have had a bad day or week. Just pick yourself up and start again!

I have lost 50 lbs. and kept it off for one year and counting. If I can do it so can you!
