Secrets of Success

When facing temptation...

I remind myself "What I REALLY want matters more than what I want right NOW."

Remembering that I have made weight loss and a healthy lifestyle the priority helps me put temptations and cravings in perspective--it takes away their power, and empowers me to make mindful choices.

Remembering Successes

Having one of those days? Stop and think back to a recent success. How did you feel? What was your level of motivation? Capture that mindset and keep pushing forward!

The Force of Habit Can be used to your advantage

Had a bad day? Bad weekend or blown your calorie limit for the whole week?

Feel like Giving up?

Remember this:

If these pitfalls didn't happen - you wouldn't learn from them. Every single time you slip up - pledge to yourself to get back to better eating from the next meal or next day - and forget the damage.


The more times you get back on track, the better you will feel and the easier it will become to stay and get back on track from any little hurdles you may face.

Self-talk

I have found that being gentle with myself when I've not been able to stick to my plan has been the most effective way to bring me back on track. I make sure I say kinder things to myself when I slip up. Harsher self-talk makes the slip-up last longer.

Every Sunday can be a new beginning

I use Sundays as ways to tweak my progress. I re-set goals in the teams I am a member of; get out of teams I feel are not working for me anymore; join teams I feel are more directly connected to my needs at that time; and so on.

You're still on your journey… Don't count yourself out!

Always keep the mindset of… "You can never gain too far from your goal that you can't return and lose it!"

Forget the Past!

To get back on track, just stop beating yourself up on how far off track you got. Start with one step in the right direction, like a healthy meal or 10 minutes of exercise and build on from there. Think of each day as a brand new day and keep going! Strive for progress not perfection! And be kind to yourself!

Getting Back on Track

I have to say the best secret to staying on track is to stay true to yourself and most of all stay focused!!!
And you will win !!!!

I can do anything for one day!!

Every morning when I wake up I say to myself today I'm going to stick to my diet only for one day!!! I can do anything for one day!!! I don't think about how much I have to lose I just say one day at a time. And guess what all those one days add up and BOOM your at your goal!!!

Just Get Back Up

When I stumble or even fall I always try to remember that failing is not falling but choosing to stay down. Sometimes it may take longer to get up but all that matters is that I get there.
