ABC's of Dieting, Weight Loss as easy as 1-2-3!!

When we are children, we learn our ABC's and are so proud when asked to recite them. Wouldn't it be great to recapture the same joy for life that you had when you were young? The same enthusiasm and happiness?

I have a way that you can do that! Re-Learn your ABC's...not the alphabet but the basics for living a healthy life.

A...always believe in your ability to succeed. This is important to success because if you do not believe that you can and will succeed in reaching your objectives...why would you try? I think that we give up and fail to reach our goals because we predispose ourselves to fail.

We think negative thoughts such as "the last diet didn't work, so this one won't either" or we listen to others tease us for "going on yet another diet". Put those thoughts and others like them out of your mind.

From today forward, believe in YOU.

Believe in your ability to take control over your situation and to improve every aspect of your life.

B...always be prepared. Many people write to me and say that they intend on eating a healthy meal but end up pressed for time and buy a fast food or a microwave meal

You know your lifestyle better than anyone. I cannot tell you what will work for you in each situation, but you can!

If you routinely are pressed for time, prepare for this, anticipate this happening. Being prepared means packing food from home before leaving for the day, do what you can to insure that healthy food will be readily available to you when you are hungry.

C...care for yourself. If you have not taken the time to do the self-discovery survey , do it today. Or take out a piece of paper and do it non-cyber way!

Write down ten adjectives right now that you would use to describe yourself, or just think of them in your mind.

What words do you select that best describe you? Are they positive words that signal a strong sense of self? Are they words that reflect the being that you are? Are the words that you chose negative and selfdepreciating? Do the words focus more on the condition of your body than of your personality and soul?

I want you to think carefully about the words that you selected. No one else can read them, no one else can hear your thoughts, and these are your private thoughts about yourself. Read them over. How do they make you feel? If you words are positive in nature, good for you. You will have a much quicker start on this journey. If your words are negative, ask yourself if you would ever use these words to describe a loved one or a best friend. If the answer is no, then you need to stop using them to describe YOU, the most important person in your life.

Now that you have your ABC's down, let's get to the 1-2-3's! To jumpstart your journey on the path of self-improvement through self-motivation all you need to do are the three easy steps which will be in the next post .
