It takes
- Absolute desire to do it. You have to want a new slim figure more than that piece of chocolate cake.
- Willingness to change. You have to want it so much you're prepared to change your attitudes and your lifestyle little by little until you're living the life that suits your health and your body.
- Commitment to do this for once and for all. Make a firm decision to achieve your target, put it in writing and re-read it every day. This will help you constantly renew your commitment to yourself.
- Knowledge of yourself. You need to know the reasons why you put on weight in the first place so that you can undo those habits. You need to know your weak spots and the best ways to help yourself work around them.
- Self belief to know that you can do this, that you can rely on yourself to follow through your commitment and not let yourself down. We know that you can achieve this, but you must believe it too.
- Self confidence to keep your commitments in the face of pressure from others, self-confidence to try new forms of exercise, to run or join in a class. Also self-confidence to face the world as a slimmer person, to attract attention and admiring glances, to avoid staying the size you are because it lets you hide behind it.
- Determination and perseverance. When the going gets difficult to just keep going. That's all it takes really - just keep going with your program.
So have you got what it takes for weight loss success? You can choose to have these qualities today or you can choose to carry on as you are. It really is up to you!
