Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were
meant to be.
~George Sheehan

If you’ve tried slimming down but haven’t succeeded, it’s possible you weren’t determined enough to reach your goal. Determination is a quality that can be exercised and mastered. Having a definite goal and keeping it in mind whenever you make a decision is a good way of strengthening your determination. Just be alert and when you feel your determination and will power falter, remember your goal and you’ll improve your resolve!

Action plan: Think about who you want to be. Describe this ideal you in detail, including as many aspects as you can think of. With this mental picture in place, you will see it is easier to maintain the focus and determination needed for your weight loss plan to be successful. Every time you feel about to cave, recall this picture of who you are meant to be. It will keep you on the right track and you WILL be successful.
