Surround Yourslef With Support

I surround myself with things that keep me on track. That way I always keep my goals in mind and am less likely to fall off track. The more you are reminded of your goal the less likely you are to overeat or skip your workout.

~ I log onto spark people daily to track my food & exercise

MORE INFORMATION:
~ I keep motivational quotes on my fridge
~ I subscribe to health & fitness magazines
~ I have a graph of my weightloss progress as the background on my computer desktop
~ I watch motivating shows about weightloss, health & fitness
~ I leave comments & messages for my sparkfriends

Staying accountable

I've learned to count on only myself when it comes to staying accountable. I used to tell my friends/family "whatever happens, don't let me eat this or that!" and it never works. It works best if I tell myself.. "no matter what happens, don't eat...."

MORE INFORMATION:
It's better to convince yourslef than someone else. It's better to give YOURSELF the control :)
