I am NOT a number…

The weight on the scale should “never” define who you are or how you look at yourself. I know it’s easier said than done, but thats number on the scale is nothing more then “information” on how you are doing. Weightloss is highly variable, so many factors play a role in how your doing that its important to look at the broad picture.

!. Food choices, stick with healthy wholesome foods.

2. Watch the sodium intake, excess sodium can cause temporary weight gain.

3. Eat your fruit and veggies, 5 servings a day!

4. Practice more postive words and thoughts when it comes to your self-image of who you are.

5. Only weigh in at one location and one scale and do it once a week if your okay with that or daily BUT only if you can handle the normal flucuations without anxiety.

6. Celebrate EVERY loss no matter what the size is…this is critical.

You are NOT a bad person if you gain weight, your not bad if you fall off the wagon once in awhile. Its a sign your normal if you do! Be kind to yourself, if a friend was struggling and gaining what would you say to them, what would you suggest to help them succeed? Whatever you would say…DO IT YOURSELF!

Have a great week!
