"12 Weeks Weightloss Challenge" All Welcome

No matter what kind of diet or eating plan you’re on, or how motivated you might be to pull on your skinny jeans without having to hold your breath, there’s one key diet ingredient you might have forgotten to include.

Too often we go on diets under mental duress. In other words, we’re beating ourselves up mentally whenever we step on the scale and/or reach for that stalk of celery. The old-school thinking is that if we’re hard on ourselves, we’re more likely to make positive change. But they key word here is “positive.” So how can any good change come from bad feelings?

The better we feel about ourselves (and even our appearance) in the present moment, the more likely we’ll be to find success with any life change we want to incorporate. This is as true for losing weight and getting into better shape as it is for getting that college degree, building better relationships or even becoming more organized at home or at the office.

I know it sounds like simple math. But that’s because it is.
