How to be successful when trying to lose weight

I am not an expert on losing weight but being able to work in a slimming center for 5 years and being in the healthcare field made me come up with this tips. Because most of my friends ask me about this all the time.

How come You have maintained my weight even after having 2 kids? Just to let you all know, I am not those lucky ones who only had the belly baby and shrank right away after giving birth. I gained 45 lbs on the first one and 35 lbs on my second pregnancy. Be the judge and Let me know if you agree..

1. MIND SET. think of something that you achieved that you wanted so bad. Didn’t you put your mind to it at first and thought about it and told yourself I’m gonna do this and I will succeed! If you already think like that then you are on the right track.

You have to condition your mind. It is so powerful that if you think and imagine it everyday. Then your whole body will go with it.

2. Motivation. What motivates you? what ever reasons you have, if it motivates you then continue with it. My motivation is, I want to be able to back to my pre baby weight or close to it. Because I always feel good when I was that weight. I am energetic, easy to find clothes that fit me, I just feel comfortable.

2. Discipline. There is always temptation for us here and there. But if you are disciplined. You can stay away from those temptation and be focused.

3. Just do it! start! everything that we do is always hard on the first try. But your body can adjust with it. It just have to be a routine for you. Give yourself at least 15- 30 mins at least 3-5x a week.

Those list of clean diet and exercises will not show results if you do not have these key ingredient. You have to have all right ingredient to be successful in losing weight, actually on everything. Be consistent.

Enjoy your journey. You can chit chat with me, a real human being if you do not want to go through this by yourself. Let me boost your confidence. As I always tell my friends. Let us help each other.
