A key aspect of weight management is being psychologically
prepared. We've got some advice to help you succeed.
Stay focused
Remain focused and committed to making changes by visualising
your shape goals and imagining how you will feel when you achieve
them.
Be realistic
Ensure your weight loss is gradual. Avoid making drastic changes
which can cause you to spiral out of control or are unmanageable -
slow and steady wins the race.
Is Accept you will have bad days
Be mentally prepared for lapses and plateaus - this can be noted
down in your food diary. Have a plan
to deal with this situation and then put that day behind you and
look forward.
Look after yourself
Many women can over eat due to emotional triggers and
therefore looking after your emotions through stress management,
exercising, and having fun socially can help to keep you on
track.
Tell your friends
Tell your friends what you are doing and why and then enlist
their help to provide extra support.
