Trying to Lose Weight with a Monkey on Your Back?

Sometimes losing weight can seem like a losing battle. However, once you set your mind to do something, no feat is impossible. Break down your situation into steps.
            What’s your motivation? (My stomach hangs over my pants)
       What are your triggers? (Eat chocolate while watching tv in the evening)
Solution: Get rid of the chocolate.
New Problem: Will eat anything.
Brain storm real issue: Why am I eating? (Oh. I am eating because I am lonely)
New Solution: Keep a journal and let it out. Keep no feeling inside. Talk to a friend. Arrange to get out of the house three times a week. (Walk at the mall after dinner).
Come up with a plan and write a solution for every problem. Life is a process. Every success is a step forward. Don’t let losing weight seem like a burden weighing you down. Pick yourself up. Dust yourself off. And keep starting over until you reach your goals. You are awesome. Losing weight is empowering.
