Hi!

Exam time has arrived in the UK along with the sun. Why they couldn't have exams in winter, I don't know. My eldest son (who's just turned 16) is in the middle of his first major school exams and I think I'm getting more stressed than he is....

Note to self : eating chocolate due to stress of son's exams will not help him get higher marks

Only 4 more to go thank goodness...

Have a great week

Love

Feature Article : An Irresistible Force for Weight Loss Success

If there's one thing that separates those who succeed at losing weight and those who don't it's determination to do what it takes.

It takes determination to start a weight loss program in the first place when it would be so much easier just to let things go on as they are. It takes even more determination to keep up momentum and motivation when the going gets tough. And even more when you suffer a plateau or a setback.

And what do you think prevents those who succeed from sliding back into their old ways? Yes, you guessed it - determination again!

But how do you get more of this magic ingredient if you think (from past experience) that it's somehow lacking in you?

1. Determination comes from desire.

The more powerful your desire to be slim, the more determined you will be to succeed. Know exactly why you want to lose weight and how important it is to you and spend time visualising how it will be when you lose that weight (or how it will be if you don't). Make weight loss something you want so much for yourself that you're willing to make changes to achieve it.

2. Determination comes from belief.

The more you believe in your ability to achieve the end result the more you will continue through whatever obstacles and difficulties you encounter.

If you've failed at losing weight a number of times before it's likely that your self-belief in your ability to lose weight and keep it off is shaky and this will affect your determination. "No point being determined", you reason "if it all amounts to nothing in the end".

In this case, work out what went wrong before and think about what you can do differently this time - once you know where you tend to go wrong, you know how to succeed. By the laws of nature everyone can lose weight - and you can too.

3. Determination comes from self-esteem.

The more faith you have in yourself the less you will be swayed by others to go off course and the more success you will have. There's nothing like declaring that you're trying to lose weight for everyone to stick in their two cents of advice - or worse tell you not to bother and eat the cake anyway. If you find yourself being persuaded into doing things against your better judgement keep your plans to yourself. Build up your self-esteem by following your own path day in and day out, learning to respect your own decisions and the actions that you take to lose weight. Others will see you are serious by your results.

And how do you maintain your determination over the long-haul? That comes from keeping your desire and belief sharply in focus and your self-esteem up high. Constantly reaffirm how much losing weight means to you. Tell yourself every day that losing weight and staying slim is achievable for you as it is for everyone else. And take pride in every pound you lose - you're doing this for yourself and you're going to succeed.

And when things don't go according to plan and you go off course and gain a little weight back, don't let it throw you. Tell yourself how one little setback is not going to make a difference because you want this so much and everyone who has ever succeeded was never perfect either. Show yourself you have what it takes and be proud of how you get right back on track.
