This morning I came across a quote in the newspaper, which I found inspiring. I’d like to share it with you.
“In business, as in life, we succeed not because we guessed the future correctly, but because were inspired by our dreams and had the courage to pursue them.”

How does this relate to losing weight and dieting? Well have you given any thought to how much time you spend trying to predict the future regarding your weight? Questions like
· How fast can I lose weight?
· How much am I going to lose each week?
· When will I reach my goal weight?
· How long will it take me to lose _ kgs?
· Which “diet” is going to work?
· Am I going to fail?
· Will I succeed this time?
· When will be the perfect time to start?
· Can I lose weight faster than my friend?
Often we spend so much time questioning how things will work out that we lose
our focus and our dream. So rather than wasting precious time trying to predict
the future
Be inspired by your dream!
· Visualize yourself at the weight you would feel happy at.
· Visualise
§ how you will look,
§ what you will be doing,
§ what you’ll be wearing,
§ who you’ll be with,
§ how you’ll be feeling
· Run through your dream every day
· Whatever you focus on consistently happens
· Focus on the thinking positively and on your strengths
· Today is all you have – so do what you can today and stop worrying about yesterday and tomorrow
· Recognize your achievements and reward yourself
· Have courage to pursue your dream!
