Behavior Tip Of The Week

March 24, 2009 :: Posted by - fmdalton :: Category - Tips of the week!

BE A HERO

Do you position yourself as a victim or a hero when it comes to controlling your weight? A victim would have thoughts such as, “ I’ll never reach my weight goals,” “I’ve always been overweight,” or “Making changes in my lifestyle won’t help me now.” Thinking like a victim affects your actions. If you think making changes in your behavior will not help, why would you want to make any? If you feel like you don’t have the power to do anything about your weight, then you probably won’t bother to take any steps to lose pounds.

It’s time to start positioning yourself as a “hero!” Start taking responsibility for your weight. Accept the power you have to make better food choices and become more physically active. Changing your attitude and believing that you have the strength to reach your weight loss goals, can help you become your own hero.
