Have you congratulated yourself on any successes recently?  Weight loss is a chore sometimes.  Sometimes your approach to dieting may be all gung-ho and nothing is going to get in your way and then there is the flip side, a perception of total dieting failure. 

When you are on the down side there is a propensity to lose hope and slide into self-doubt.  You have to quickly pick up the momentum.  Look at your last week and quickly think about what you did right.  How did you stay on the dieting course in the last week or two? 

Don’t discount your successes. Write them down, put big stars by the ones you consider quite an achievement, passing up the chocolate cake with butter-cream icing perhaps, or walking an extra 30 minutes.

Whatever you do, don’t let the negative hinder your success.  You have to accentuate the positive…eliminate the negative…yes that song is before my time too but it is very good advice.
