STEP 7 - CHANGING YOUR ATTITUDE

broken image

Many believe that weight management is only a factor of proper nutrition and exercise; however, one of the greatest influencers is the right mental state. A person’s success at managing weight can usually be traced to how they begin. Creating a healthy lifestyle can be challenging; based on your starting point, there can be significant obstacles to overcome. In order to provide the best chance possible, individuals need to prepare themselves mentally as well as physically.

The common attitude associated with lifestyle change or weight management is often negative and restrictive. This attitude is not sustainable and makes weight management seem like an elusive goal. A better approach is to focus on the positive aspects of undertaking a lifestyle change.

Does it take some effort to move regularly, especially when just starting? Sure. Will it take more time? Absolutely. But it's well worth it — for your weight, your health, and how you feel. And if you start out with the right attitude, along with a solid program, you can succeed.
