* I hit 40, and look what happened!:
OK, so this was my excuse … is it really anything to do with age, or is it a good reason to explain why we don’t have to make an effort? It’s important to be honest … ask yourself why you think the way you do, and how much do you really want to contribute to making a change?
* I feel guilty about overeating?
Why do you overeat – what’s the benefit for you – there must be one? You need to explore and discover your personal triggers and find different ways of coping.
* Should I keep a journal?:
Yes – if it’s a positive influence! Use it to record thoughts, emotions and personal triggers and not measurements or weight.
* Why do I get distracted?:
Probably because you are impatient, do you want to provide a short cut to change your life? Take it slower, whatever you can cope with and don’t be influenced by negative people.

* I get anxious and know I can’t do it?:
By changing the way you think can make a massive difference to your expectations … (reports to follow on anxiety and positive re-enforcement).
* How do I control my sweet tooth?:
If it has to be in the house for others, buy things you don’t like – find an alternative nibble!
* How can I get fitter without loads of effort?:
Decide you will do something, even if it’s only small steps to begin with. For example: don’t park the car in the closest possible spot to the school gates … every effort is an extra step to feeling better about yourself and getting fitter and healthier.
* How can I stay motivated?:
Keep a journal, as mentioned above, so that you can learn more about yourself and your triggers. Decide to do something each day, no matter how small and congratulate yourself. Surround yourself with positive influences and Never give up! |

Some typical questions we often ask ourselves when battling with our weight and body shape: (FREE report to follow, click below)
*
I want something that works:
Be honest with yourself … what am I capable of changing and do I really want it. Take it slowly and alter your way of thinking.
*
I don’t want to fast or starve:
You don’t have to … ask yourself: ‘do you need it?’, ‘’are you really hungry?’. Maybe you can just have half of what you fancy – or try something different. You know what you can’t have, so don’t tempt yourself with it. An occasional treat is great, be your own monitor and if it goes wrong, do better tomorrow.
* Why has all the weight come back on?
Did you do too much, too quickly? How are your ‘thought processes’? Were they ‘this will be fine to eat now that I have lost weight’?
*Why can’t I do it?
Ask yourself: do you really want to? Yes, you want to look and feel better, but if you’re not prepared to change anything – then nothing will change!
*I am trying so hard and nothing is happening?
Is this because you are too impatient … it will take longer for some people. Find out what is right for you and change your thinking and habits. Your attitude and thoughts maybe controlling your success!
