A really powerful, easy-to-implement (free) tool you MUST try!

Just remembered something that worked really well for me in the past, so I thought I'd share. I once read a book about cognitive therapy for dieting "The Beck Diet Solution". Before you start to snooze, there is one really powerful, easy-to-implement (free) tool that you MUST try!

Take an index card or business card (whatever size you can carry with you every day). Write on it the top reasons why you want to lose weight. They could range from "I want to feel healthy", "I want to feel sexy", "I want to enjoy shopping for clothes", "I want to look good in a bathing suit". Well, you get the idea. The key...take it out and read it SEVERAL times a day, every day. Also read it when you are tempted to eat or drink something you shouldn't. (I'm going to make my card, tonight.)

And when you do 'fall off the wagon' (and you will), dust yourself off, (smile), admit that you are human and start with the next meal. :-)

BTW...I'd love to hear from anyone who tries this to see how it is working.

I wish you all the very best! YOU deserve it! (And, so do I.) :-)

Nice.

Pictures speaks a thousand words so I have my day 1 before pictures laminated and wallet size and carry them in my wallet. 432lbs of motivation.
