When I began my weight loss journey I knew it was going to be a lifelong commitment. You must know that this journey is not just the time it takes to lose the weight, but the lifetime it takes to maintain it. If you have a large amount of weight to lose, your attitude and mind set must be in the right place or you will become discouraged. Don’t focus on the large number, but rather focus on small increments such as losing the first 10 pounds and so on.
Before you embark on a weight-loss regimen, check in with your attitude and mindset towards making these lifestyle changes. Ask yourself if you are ready to commit to eating better and increasing your activity level. Depending on what you currently eat and how sedentary you are, you may need to make drastic alterations to get yourself to a healthy weight. Discuss your reservations with a close friend or loved one and work to develop a positive attitude towards weight-loss before beginning. Your goal will look much more attainable if you do this.
