DIET JOURNEY

Dieting is not just about food, or a lack of it. Dieting is a journey you embark upon as an individual. Unfortunately, many people focus too much on the wrong things and wonder why difficult days become the norm. You alone can change dieting from being a painful thought, to that of a positive, rewarding one. You have the ability to create your own mindset. Whether your attitude is positive or negative is up to you; not your friends, family or coach. Your dieting success is dependent on your mental focus. Ask yourself why you are dieting. No one is making you diet. It is all you. Each day you wake up and make the decision to carry on. If you believe you will fail at dieting, then you will. If you believe you will reach your goals, you will.

To be truly successful when dieting you need to embrace the process as building a healthier you rather than depriving yourself of something. Do not think of your weight- loss plan as
something negative but rather a positive force in your life to make changes for the better. When you have negative thoughts do not direct them at your diet. When you feel deprived remind yourself that you are depriving your bones of carrying around that excess weight. Remind yourself that you are depriving your wardrobe of those bulky clothes that are designed to hide the bulges. Remind yourself that you are depriving your body of years of bulges and bringing back the body of your youth.

Dieting does not control you, you control it. Create a positive image in your mind of where you are going with your dieting journey. Actively seek support from those around you who believe in you and believe in yourself. Tell yourself you are a fighter for your dreams. Hold that close in your mind, believe in it, believe in yourself. When hurdles confront you, you will happily embrace, endure and execute successfully... YOU will be a SUCESS.

The bottom line is that you have to be DETERMINED. You have to recognize that it is a life time change and that you are the only person that feeds yourself. The only thing stopping you from success is yourself...So be a success.
