NORMAL TENDENCY

When we don’t feel very good, even thinking about doing something for our health can be overwhelming. We most likely decide to discontinue any change and resume or continue,
perhaps with minor modifications, the same health-disabling behaviors as before. Maybe you know people addicted to soft drinks, candy, coffee, or some other drug. For them, the very thought of giving up that item will produce stress.

IF THAT PERSON IS YOU

Do you worry that starting a fat-loss program means being deprived of your favorite foods? If so, focus instead on being in an optimal state of health. Substitute that empowering thought for the one of loss. Feed yourself this new thought throughout the day, visualizing yourself as active and healthy.
