Thread: motivation

Put up some photos of what you looked like when you were in shape. Get mentally into that state. Feel what you felt like being in shape and loving how it felt to live in your body. Your mind is powerful and will work with your brain and body to get you there.

You don't have to give up chocolate entirely. Switch to dark which is healthier, get a better quality and eat it slowly and really experience it. Get thee down to Goodwill or the department store and invest in some blue dishes. The color blue curbs appetite. Also get smaller plates and bowls, studies have found that dish size affects our perception of food consumption. The same size serving on a smaller plate will seem more filling than when eaten off a larger plate. Take care in the appearance of your food, it should be a feast for the eyes as well as the palet and not just fill your stomach.

Move, stretch, all the time, so it sensuously, enjoy it.

Focus on health and the pleasure of having a strong healthy body. Forget the scale and go for healthy living.
