If, like most other people, you're hoping to shed some extra pounds, you'd be astonished as to what will help you get rid of those excess pounds. Healthy eating? Possibly, but that's just the beginning. Physical fitness? Yes, but the ultimate tool that gets you going - brain power.
Start by getting a picture in your head of what the "thinner" you looks like. You may even want to dig out a picture of yourself when you were thinner. You must be able to visualize what the new you will look like. Print out several copies of that picture. Put it on the bathroom mirror, in your closet, next to your bed, and on the visor of your car. Put the photo in places where you will see it all the time. The more you see it, the more motivation you will get to actually be the person you see in the picture.
Another thing you can do is train your mind to be happy with the diet you've chosen. Losing weight is more than just the "How to Lose 20 pounds" infomercial or the latest fad diet. Most of the war with your pounds is won or lost at mealtime.
Be happy with the choice that you have made to improve your life and get rid of that "middle tire". Start small with your food choices; you don't have to eat perfectly all the time. Eat healthy 90% of the time, and be realistic that you will crave unhealthy things. That way when you do eat something unhealthy, you will know it's a treat and not something you will indulge in all of the time.
There you have it for the mind and meals. Exercise and diet are, of course, the great weapons in your arsenal in the war against your weight. But this tried and true strategy is useless without enlisting your mind. If your mind is not convinced, you're doomed to failure no matter the diet or exercise regimen.
