Feel what you would feel, see your relatinship with other people Do the same for the second road of your choice. Compare the two roads and answer one question: does your efforts worth going the road that you are about to choose?
4. Review your list and see if you have there the words like: "must", "have to". If you have such qords change them to "want" and "prefer".
5. Sometime we think we have to do something. When you pronounce: "I must" psychologists think that your positive resul will fail. The thing is when you start using such words the weight loosing turns into a must-do routine like some sort of liitation or punishment. Your will power will start to subotage it sooner of later.
6. Define your target. If you want to loose pounds define exactly how many. the target needs to be achievable: say, like 15kg off in one month is a tough target and probably you will fail. make your targets small but achievable. In this case the victory will be your next step motivation to go all the way.
Good luck!
