Sorry this is late, I'm not actually home at the moment, at a friend's house overnight.

Look at people who have lost weight - celebrities, families, success stories on MFP. Tell yourself, "If they can do it, so can I!"

Practice saying "I can do it!" over and over. Try writing it down on post-its and popping them on visible places, and try to read them many times a day so that the phrase is really embedded in your brain.

TODAY:

Tell yourself "I can do it!" at least 10 times. Use this to cheerlead yourself through the entire day!
Post - "I can do it because..." and then add a few supportive phrases such as "I'm capable of doing anything."
Read your phrases often using them to reinforce your goals and build your enthusiasm

    I can do it because...

    I've done it before and can do it again!
    I want to do it - and I want it badly enough to work for it.
    I've got what it takes to do it - and to do anything I commit myself to!
    With a little determination, it's easy - it's simple math - calories in and calories out!
    I know what I'm doing with regards to nutrition and exercise
    I can be like all my inspirational friends both in life and on MFP - they have done it, so can I!

    I can do this for my kids and their health and just as important for me! Mom´s choice :heart:
    I can do this because I am now at the lowest weight I´ve been since I started on my glutenfree diet.
    I can do this because I have so many great supporters here on MFP and several in real life!
    I can do this because I have seen so many others do this (Gitte, Anette, Louise amongst others) and I´m just as dedicated as they are!

    I can do it because I've been doing it, reasonably successfully, for 18 months already. Just a few more lbs and I'll be there.

    I can keep doing it (maintaining) because if I don't all my hard work will have been for nothing.

    I can do it because it feels good.
