The Right Attitude-Jillian Michaels

Do you have what it takes to reach your weight-loss goals? If you think it's all about diet and exercise, you're wrong. It sounds crazy, I know. Exercise and a proper diet are crucial to any weight-loss and fitness program. But, to reach any long term goal — especially one that requires major lifestyle change — you'll need to improve your attitude, too. You can have all the external support in the world, but if your self-esteem is in the toilet, you'll never have long-term success.
Having the right attitude is so important because thought is behavior. The power of the mind is total — the way you think about yourself manifests as your reality. We all know how easily negative thoughts can lead to lack of confidence, hopelessness, and depression. You've heard about self-fulfilling prophecy, right? Well, if you tell yourself that you'll always be fat or never find happiness, chances are you'll end up fat and unhappy. Hey, it makes sense.

Okay, let's turn that scenario around. Tell yourself that you can get fit and you will be happy. It's that simple. You can master your own fate with positive thinking!

This is SO true!

You can't change your life until you change your mindset.

You can't treat yourself right if you don't love yourself.

I just posted to the non-scale challenge something along this same line. If you spend all your time focusing on what you don't like, how you can't loose weight, you have bad habbits, etc. your holding yourself back. If you spend your energy focusing on your goal you will drive yourself to it.

Great post! :flowerforyou:
