I really think a positive attitude is one of the key’s to successful weight loss.  I mean there are lots of components to weight loss and they aren’t necessarily food related.

1.  Positive attitude:  How can you lose weight with negative thinking.   YOu have to look at yourself positively and with open eyes.   Positive attitude will reward you with positive results.

2.  Non scale victories:  I think this is a key to keeping that positive attitudes.  Sometimes the scales can be mean or nonrelenting by either not moving or even moving up a notch or two.  You have to look at the other victories.   Take your measurements.  These numbers will go down and these will measure success as well.  Measure your arms, waist, hips, and thighs.  You also have the way your clothes fit.  Have you moved to smaller sizes or are your current sizes fitting looser.  How about your face?  Do you see that it’s slimming down? 

3.  Emotions.  How many of us eat because we are bored, tired, angry, sad, happy, or depressed?  I know my hand is waving high in the air.  We have to find things to turn to besides food.  Go for a walk, exercise, read a book, take a bath, or come on to this site and read blogs.  You’ll find out that you aren’t alone.

I just wanted to come on to let you all know that there are battles out there and we all can get through them.  Keep the positive attitude up, look at the nonscale victories, and watch your emotions.  We are all Losers!!!  We all are going to win the war against the weight!  We CAN do it!
