Positive Mental Attitude

If I want it to happen, it will happen. I'm realistic about my expectations. I know I will have bad days, but I will overcome any setbacks and persevere.

I've not always felt like this. I'm a worrier. I suffer with depression and every day is a challenge in itself. I've made myself determined to be optimistic. Why? Because the thought of getting bigger, getting lazier and being unhealthy is more depressing than doing something about it. I may blog about my depression at a later date.

The biggest enemy to fight in all this is my own mind.

Write a list of what you want to achieve but be realistic. Aiming to be a size 6 if you're a size 20 by Christmas, is doomed to failure before you start.

How do you want to feel? What are your reasons for doing it? Writing it all down really helps your plan of action.

Set small goals for yourself. This will help focus your attention on achievement in stages. Promise yourself a reward if you reach that goal. A new outfit, necklace, a new Xbox game... Whatever you see as a treat.
