Decide to make lifestyle changes
and
take control of your weight for
YOURSELF
and
no one else.
Make a commitment to the lifestyle change process for the
next few months. Make it a priority to attend all sessions and
complete each self-study assignment.
Lifestyle Changes
Become an
active
participant at
each session.
Do not measure
success by
pounds lost.
Make small, realistic
changes that naturally fit
into your lifestyle.
Think positively; acknowledge
your progress no matter how
small. Reward yourself for
successful lifestyle changes.
Success
Ask for the support
you need from
family, friends, and
co-workers.
Create an environment that is
supportive of the changes you are
trying to make in your
lifestyle.
Set realistic and attainable long-
term goals. When goals are
unrealistic, success is never
achieved. Remember there is
no miracle cure for weight loss
and management.
BE PATIENT.
Expect set backs, learn from
them,
and move on.
