2 Simple Tips to Successful Weight Loss

By Thong M. Dao

It is apparent that optimistic thought could be of excellent help if it comes to fat loss. But then, if you keep on thinking negatively, fat loss can be tougher than ever. Let me explain.

You can't lose weight if you always think you're fat, simple as that. You may even hate yourself, right? Now think yourself thin, and imagine how it can help you. Your mindset can single-handedly determine your success or failure. It's all about how to build a positive attitude.

Don't forget though that just like you can't slim down overnight, you also can't transform your pessimistic thoughts into optimistic ones within a short time. Therefore be patient and try to integrate those changes gradually to your life!

1. The cause behind your fat loss. What is the main reason behind your fat loss attempts? Why is it you wish to drop off weight? Is it only because you're not able to endure the taunts you get from your office co-workers, or because you keep on getting declined for dates, or just because you wish a physique similar to your favorite famous person whose photo you lately came across in a magazine? No matter what it is, write them down on paper. Note down the causes behind your fat loss endeavors, however big or small they are!

Even better, write those down on stickers then put them everywhere. Put them where you will see them the most, such as the bedroom walls or fridge, so you could never forget your fat loss goals.

2. Motivation and possible goals. Now it's time to set up some realistic targets for you. To do that, you have to know your idealistic body weight, then deduct that from your actual body weight. The result you get is the amount of weight you have to drop off to acquire the sort of physique you want.

Now, honestly, you can't lose more than two pounds a week. Calculate and see how many lbs you can drop off a year from today. Once again, be practical in your goals, because impractical targets serve no purpose.

When you've set your targets, you now want some motivation that can help you reach your fat loss goals. What you'll apply to motivate yourself can depend upon the cause behind your fat loss. If you wish to look like your favorite famous person, hang the pics of him or her all around your home. That could be more than sufficient to make you motivated!
