Healthy Weight Loss Habits

Reflect upon the factors that led to weight gain you have experienced in the past. Overeating? Binge eating? High-calorie food intake? Slow metabolism? Not enough exercise? These are just a few habits that can create weight gain over time. Once you are aware of what caused your weight gain, then you can create healthy weight loss habits in their place. Think of small changes that you can make to create a new, healthy habit. For example, if you have not been getting enough exercise, then park farther away when doing errands, take the stairs instead of the elevator, and do more household chores to increase your activity level. Then, you can build on this by starting an easy exercise program. The key is to make small changes that lead to lifelong healthy weight loss habits!

Write an affirmation right now:
I now release the old, unhealthy habits that led to my weight gain. I am creating new, healthy weight loss habits, beginning with my first step: (list).
