Weight Loss Mental Strategies

The Weight Loss Mental Strategies can help you move towards your weight loss goals, They were developed by Pamela Peeke, MD for her book 'Fit to Live'.

Picture Yourself Thin.

As Dr Peeke says "To break old habits, you need to see yourself in a positive light,"

This is a great strategy and over on our website we have a fantastic tool to help with this which lets you upload a picture of yourself and adapt the image so you can look at your ideal weight. This is a great tool to help you visualise yourself thin, why not give it a go.

Have Realistic Expectations.

One great suggestion here is to have a goal to aim for Dr Peeke suggests looking 12 months ahead and ask yourself how much you would like to have lost. If the answer is 12lbs you then know you have to lose 1lb a month. You then analyse to see if this is realistic.

Set Small Goals.

A little like the goal above break it in to small steps, one small goal could be to add an extra piece of healthy food to each days food routine. This would then fit in with what we at Mind Body Weight Loss feel is the Best Weight Loss Tip Ever!

Cynthia Sass, MS from the American Dietetic Association states: "We all know that change is hard and it is especially difficult if you try to make too many changes, so start small and gradually make lifestyle improvements"
