We are always advised to seek the approval of our personal physician before starting a weight loss program.  So you’ve been given a clean bill of health – physically. But are you prepared to tackle this gargantuan task of transforming yourself – psychologically? We tend to forget that we should also see to it that we are in the right frame of mind.

Are we prepared for the responsibilities that accompany the journey we are about to embark? Constant consciousness with regards to what we put in our mouths as well as in our heads, for that matter may cause unrequited stresses that may have negative effects on our endeavor.

Allowing thoughts that do less than inspire can ignite a wrong attitude towards weight loss.  Instead of nurturing thoughts of a healthier, more attractive you, you may start entertaining ideas of how difficult the process to that condition is.

You may begin to consider your program to be such a punishment that you will eventually backslide and go back to your old ways, wasting all the efforts you have made since you have started. The end product – you fail at losing weight.

So it is healthy advice to watch your thoughts. Doing so will keep you in a happy place and will put you in the right attitude to lose weight.
