How to Make Money

When you start your weight loss journey, it’s all about losing weight.

If you’re overweight, you want to lose weight. That’s a given. But how much weight do you want to lose? If you set an unrealistic
weight goal, you’re setting yourself up for failure.

How Much Should You Lose? You don’t have to go to extremes. You don’t have to take extreme diet pills and potions. It’s okay to enjoy some of your favorite food or take a few days off from
exercise. You don’t have to cut food groups out, exercise seven days a week, and torture yourself to see real results.

Look at weight loss as a permanent strategy. You will never be able to go back to the lifestyle you had which piled on the weight. You
need to develop healthy new habits of thinking and doing.

Unfortunately, the media and the weight loss industry mess with our minds. Most of us have no idea what our weight goal might
realistically be.

Think of yourself as a healthy, fit person, who loves to eat good nutritious food, and to exercise. Your weight loss battle is already won
in your mind.

Why not set mini targets? For example, if you have 50 pounds to lose to meet what you think might be your goal, aim for a ten pound weight
loss, and see how you feel.

Setting a mini target helps because it’s achievable. If you change one habit – eating an apple and piece of cheese for a snack, rather
than a couple of donuts – you can achieve this goal very quickly.

However, as time goes on, and you get close to your goal weight, it’s about keeping the weight off over time. You need time to stick to
your new way of eating and exercising.

As you progress with your weight loss effort, you’ll gain energy and confidence. That might spur you into more weight loss, and you will then see yourself in a new
light and feeling great. Your life and health will change drastically for the better.
