Successful Weight Loss is Simple with These 2 Steps

By Thong M. Dao

You've probably learned much on the importance of optimistic thinking in fat loss. When you keep nursing pessimistic thoughts, you'll not be able to slim down. But then, when you become a optimistic thinker, fat loss will be simple for you. Let's see an example.

You can't lose weight if you always think you're fat, simple as that. You may even hate yourself, right? Now think yourself thin, and imagine how it can help you. Your mindset can single-handedly determine your success or failure. It's all about how to build a positive attitude.

First, remember that negative thoughts are not something you can change overnight. So be patient, the key is one step at a time, slowly but surely.

1. Why do you want to lose weight? Is it because you can't stand the way others look at you? Or because those extra pounds prevent you from dating? Or just because you want to look like your celebrity idol? Write down all the reasons you can think of on a piece of paper, everything, big or small.

Even better, write those down on stickers then put them everywhere. Put them where you will see them the most, such as the bedroom walls or fridge, so you could never forget your fat loss goals.

2. Set realistic goals. This is a vital step to success. Most people fail because they try to do something they actually can't. Your final goal is of course your ideal weight. But how long does it take you to get there?

In reality, you had better aim for two pounds per week. It is not to say you cannot lose more but that is typical, and above all, realistic. Now you could easily estimate the time necessary to reach your destinations.

Next, you need to get some motivation. There are lots of ways to do this. For example, you can take photos of yourself periodically to see how long you've been moving forward. Or you can find a friend who shares the same goals and work together.
