The Mental Challenges In Losing Weight






Watch what you say

Would you ever tell a true friend that he or she looks fat and old; then why do you say it to yourself? Summer Weight Loss can be a challenge and your mental attitude will affect your overall success. Try to stop talking about yourself to yourself. Not only does it continue to make you feel bad but it makes it hard to stay motivated; then you feel you just can’t lose weight.

How About Some Accolades

Just because you may want to change your weight; your weight does not determine your value and worth.

Make a list of things you enjoy and cherish about yourself: your parenting skills, the collections you have such as porcelain dolls or coins, your ability to forgive others. Whether you gain or lose 15 pounds does not affect who you are as a human being.

Stop Being Mean to Yourself

When you don’t like the way you look, don’t punish yourself by withholding things from yourself. Treat yourself to massages, take a bubble bath, buy that outfit you’ve always wanted.

Small rewards will make you feel better about your body. The operative word is “small” so don’t over do it.

There Must Be Some Balance

Women tend to feel there is something wrong with the size of their waist and or stomach; but what about the other parts of the body. How about those great legs, pretty feet, beautiful eyes or just nice looking hair.

Think about the positives instead of the negative aspects of your body.

Accept the Things You Can Not Change

Fact: You have you mother’s round race, your grandmother’s crooked nose, your aunt’s short and thick legs.

There are some parts of the body you just can’t change. Accept them as traits which make you an Individual.
