Thinking That Will Make You Thinner - Part 2

Lets look at some more ways that we can adjust our thinking to make us thinner.

1. What is the best alternative I can come up with, right now?

This works because it come from a point of acceptance of where we are right now and from here we can work out the best journey to our destination because we know our starting point.

2. I will NOT let chocolate determine my self-esteem.
