Being fit and healthy is truly a state of mind.  90% of the losing weight and maintaining a healthy lifestyle battle is setting a goal and visualizing success.  The other 10% is sweat and dedication.   I often see people who desperately want to lose weight and be fit but cannot see past the negative in their life.  Their mind is full of "I don't, I can't, I won't" statements.  

Negative Mindset

• I don't want to be overweight anymore.
• I can't workout today because I am too tired.
• I won't go to the gym until I look thinner. 

When your mind hears these statements, your energy level will be zapped and you will start making excuses on why it is okay to stray from your goal. Change your mindset to think in positive terms and your mind will be much more likely to set a goal through to the end.  

Positive Mindset

•  I do want to be fit.
• I will workout today because it is good for me.
• I can go to the gym because my health is important. 

You are your best cheerleader.  If you think you can do it, you will do.  To visualize success is to achieve success.
