"Act" like a successful Weight Watcher~~~everyday!

When you expect success, your mind focuses on success.

You hold the key. You and you alone can choose to envision your outcome and can choose to take action.

If you act like you want some"thing" ...you will get that "thing". Some days I KNOW its hard to be a good weight watcher. We all have bad days. Do NOT beat up on yourself. Just keep going...THREE SIMPLE WORDS.......~LIFE GOES ON~
You are in control of you

Weight loss success is up to you, and is for you, by you and because of you. Realize this: You are the only person who can take control of your life. You and you alone can get yourself out of your chair and on your feet. You are the only one that can take the responsibility for the condition in which you find yourself. That's right, you are responsible for you.

Now if you are trying diet after diet and failing over and over again then you must at some point in time realize that it is quite likely not the diets that are failing. You must be willing to change your life to succeed at weight loss. Are you trying to lose weight just for one day, and then you want it back? Not usually, most want to lose weight and keep it off. That means a change, not in just weight but in life.

In work and play we are accountable for our actions, this is no different when it comes to weight loss. It won't go away by itself, and it certainly did not show up by itself. You are what makes you what you are, and if you do not like the way you are now you must change it.
It is very satisfying when a person notices your efforts and compliments you on the things you have done. However, when you are dieting and changing your life it may take a more time for people to actually notice the weight you have lost. Weight loss is not an instant gratification type of activity. Do not give up simply because no one noticed you lost a pound. You must continue your efforts; you just might surprise yourself, after a while with a roaring success.

Weight loss is a life change, and you must hold yourself accountable to your stated dieting and weight loss goals in order to achieve any lasting results. To change your life requires a degree of accountability, you must be the one to make it happen.
