Women's Safety Information

#1) Staying committed to your old habits.
Defending your point of view, the one that got you in your predicament in the first place, won’t help your situation; it will just make things worse. If you do the same thing over and over that got you into trouble in the first place expecting a different result it’s not going to happen. Telling yourself that you don’t have to make a change will insure you never succeed at your weight loss goals. Our lifestyle and the routines we adopt get us into trouble and if you don’t think you need to change your lifestyle then why aren’t you happy with where you’re at now. When you discover your wrong, make sure you admit it and find a better way.

TIP:
Make sure you never entertain the possibility that you can’t change. Don’t squash your success before you get started by telling yourself your set in your ways and it’s too late to change things now. Strive to find a better path. If you need help finding a way to change, get out there look for it and find it. Spend less time wishing and more time doing. Find people who have already made the change that can help you!

#2) Wanting it too fast.
Sometimes we find a plan that will work, only to get mad and give up when it’s not working as fast as we would like. Sometimes we tell ourselves that it worked, just not as fast as I would have liked, then we rationalize why we should quite doing whatever it is that we are doing. We tell ourselves things such as; it’s not working fast enough and I don’t want to spend the money anymore or I can find a better way that will work faster.

TIP:
Slow can be good therefore, we need to learn patients not change what is already working. If you learn to be patient you will see results. The results might not be as fast as you would like, but it will happen. We can all make a million excuses for why we don’t want to do something, but really it’s just because we don’t want to make that commitment. Learn the gentle art of patients and it will allow you to step forward and not be so hard on yourself.

#3) Not having a plan in place.
Setting up a well-defined plan, instead of winging it can be harder and more time consuming so we just don’t do it. We tell ourselves it will be easier to just go for it rather than think of a plan and implement it. Not making a plan is setting you up for failure.

TIP:
Talk yourself through it. Set up a well devised plan. When you’re going into battle the only way to win is to have a strategy set into place. You will be pleased with what you have accomplished by setting up a plan and you will lose a lot more weight if you hold yourself accountable to it. You will also find that this will help your self-confidence because you have made it work. Talk about the important stuff. If you get stuck, find a relationship coach to help. Start out small and build up from there.

#4) Never forgetting.
Sometimes we put on a few extra pounds, because we messed up somewhere. We didn’t follow our plan or cheated a little too much. When it comes to weight loss you will mess up, and we all mess up. We forget how far we have come and sometimes quite because we fill it is pointless to keep going. We are hard on ourselves for the mess ups and forget all the success.

TIP:
Forgive yourself, stop kicking your own **** just because you cheated or messed up a bit. Fix it, come back and blow it out of the water the next week. If it’s been working then this is just a minor setback. Get back on your plan get focused and give yourself a bit of a break. If you ***** up at work do you just quite, no you fix it and move on. Forgiving yourself can release you from the pain you endure from the offense.

#5) Never forget to hydrate.
Hydration is the key. If you are not hydrated it tricks your body into thinking you are hungry therefore you over eat and gain weight. You get mad at yourself and wonder why you gained the weight. Drinking water is the best way to stay hydrated but some of us **** water so, we come up with excuses to get soda or a high calorie drink instead. Drinking soda will not help your weight loss goals.

TIP:
Drink water every time you start to feel hungry in between meals instead of reaching for a snack. Chances are it’s your body telling you your thirst not hungry. If you **** the taste of water, either get over it and **** it up or get some kind of water enhancer. Water enhancers might have a few extra calories but at the least it will get you drinking water and with way less calories than a soda.
