2 Simple Tips to Successful Weight Loss

By Thong M. Dao

It's obvious that positive thinking can be of great help when it comes to weight loss. On the other hand, if you keep thinking negatively, weight loss will be harder than ever. Let me make myself clear.

You may not believe it, but you're not able to drop off weight since you think that you're fat; chances are you even hate yourself for that reason. Now, when you think yourself to be slim instead, could you imagine the favorable impact it could have on your fat loss goals? Your mind-set and mental attitude will make or break your fat loss goals. I'll show you how to build up a positive mindset.

Don't forget though that just like you can't slim down overnight, you also can't transform your pessimistic thoughts into optimistic ones within a short time. Therefore be patient and try to integrate those changes gradually to your life!

1. The cause behind your fat loss. What is the main reason behind your fat loss attempts? Why is it you wish to drop off weight? Is it only because you're not able to endure the taunts you get from your office co-workers, or because you keep on getting declined for dates, or just because you wish a physique similar to your favorite famous person whose photo you lately came across in a magazine? No matter what it is, write them down on paper. Note down the causes behind your fat loss endeavors, however big or small they are!

Even better, write those down on stickers then put them everywhere. Put them where you will see them the most, such as the bedroom walls or fridge, so you could never forget your fat loss goals.

2. Set up realistic goals. It is a critical step to success. Many people fail as they attempt to do things they really cannot. Your final target is of course your idealistic weight. However how long will it take you to be there?

In fact, you should aim for 2 pounds a week. It's not to say you can't lose more but that's typical, and most importantly, realistic. Now you can easily calculate the time needed to achieve your goals.

Next, you have to acquire some motivation. There are a lot of ways to do it. For instance, you may take photographs of yourself periodically to check how long you have been going forward. Or you could find a friend that shares the same targets and work together.
