no success is too small






~No success is too small or insignificant to acknowledge.~


Celebrate every success. No success is too small to celebrate and especially when it comes to weight management. If you skipped a doughnut at the morning staff meeting, celebrate! If you turned down the bread at dinner, celebrate! If you walked for 15 minutes today, celebrate! Recognize your accomplishments and acknowledge them to yourself. Your subconscious mind will begin to get the message more clearly!

Reward yourself. When you reach significant milestones along your journey, reward yourself with something special. Losing weight is a big accomplishment in your life and you deserve rewards. A pedicure, a new outfit, a movie, or some new shoes are great rewards. Maybe you want to reward yourself with a night out without the kids. Whatever makes you feel special should be your reward! Just don’t use food as a reward or you’ll be back where you started. My favorite is a long bubble bath. It doesn't have to cost. Just do something for you! YOU DESERVE IT!

Change for life and change for good. When you make lifestyle changes, you are changing for life and for good. It’s not a plan that has a beginning and an end. It’s a plan that has a beginning with a lifelong goal of healthy eating and an active daily routine. It’s about taking care of yourself because YOU deserve it and because you have the choice to live the best life possible.
