If you're thinking "Oh God, its Monday again and I'm back on a diet and I don't think I'll ever be able to lose that 20- 30 pounds!" You're probably in need of some inspiration, well this may be of help to you.
Being on a diet usually mean's you're surrounded by failure.
The TV shows are broadcasting shows about obesity and how its out of control.
Your friends haven't lost weight and are always complaining about it.
Sometimes it's enough to make you want to give up.
But, having positive inspiring images can help.
Although you may think that no one ever loses weight, there are people out there just like you and me, that have lost weight and kept it off.
So, here's your task for the day.
Go out and buy a large scrapbook.
Go to your local shop/store and purchase some weight loss/dieting magazines.
If you're short of cash ask the shop owner if they have any magazines they're putting in the trash that you could take off their hands.
Look for images of success, whether thats women/men who've lost great weight or images where people have lost weight and they're happy and look great that and cut them out.
Then paste them into your scrap book.
If you're stuck for time you can get the kids involved and say its a project you need help with.
Now place this scrap book somewhere you can see every day, whether thats in your bed room that you can refer to it before you go to sleep or possibly in your kitchen possibly close to the refrigerator.
Now when ever you need a boost when things seem hard or you're tempted to giving in, read through your scrapbook and no time you'll notice an improvement in your mood, and you won't feel like giving in.
A quick note - Rather than relying on the same photos to look over, continue to add more and more photos.
Looking at the same photos over and over again can take the "shine" off them but by adding more and more your book stays fresh and inspirational.
Now where did I put those scissors?
