How did/do you keep yourself focused in the early stages of eating better when it's too early to see noticeable differences?

    Reminding myself every day that with each positive change I made, the healthier I would become.

    That my body doesn't feel like junk as when all I eat is junk.
    I get constipated, bloating, tired and mostly bigger.
    That is what makes me love my fruits & veggies.
    As well to get to my dream body I can sit on the coach wishing what my body looked like or I can slowly but surely get to that dream body one day at a time. :)

    The same thing I do now: I plan what I will eat and stick to it.

    I remind myself that I'm saving my body from:
    1. The high-fat food that I normally eat
    2. The tons of sugar from regular soda
    3. Diabetes, Heart Disease and other major health problems.

    Having a weekly weight goal is also helpful. Even if it doesn't look like I'm losing weight, I know I am because I'm meeting my goal.
