Get Rid Of The Problem

Members Were Sparked

I still had a big, full basket of candy from my parents back home. And of course I'd eat from it all the time. After tracking the little innocent seeming eggs, I realized it was really slowing my down, so I put every single piece of candy on a plate and left it in the lounge with a note telling people to take what they wanted.

MORE INFORMATION:
Too late to undo it, and now that candy is GONE

Gain weight (for a few minutes)

Pick up a weight (or weights) totalling the amount of weight that you have lost or that you want to lose.

If you have already lost that amount of weight its amazing really give yourself a visual cue of the weight that you are no longer carrying around.

If you have yet to lose the weight, use that visual as motivation and picture it shrinking and shrinking. As you put the weight down, picture yourself putting down the weight on your body as well.

MORE INFORMATION:
The most important part of the exercise is picturing yourself shredding the weight, whether you've already gotten rid of it or you are well on your way

Consistency is NOT the Same Thing As Perfection!

One of the most powerful things that SparkPeople has taught me is that although I can & will be imperfect, I can still be a success! If I miss a workout or go over on calories, I don't throw the towel in for that week, or even the whole day. I look at how far I've come & jump right back in.

MORE INFORMATION:
Getting rid of the "all or nothing" mentality is the best thing I've done for myself!
