Chart Your Weight Loss

Losing weight is a difficult process. Studies show that people who do daily weigh-ins are more successful losers, especially if they write the numbers down. You can create a chart that shows your improvement; even if you don't lose weight every week you will see the long-term progress by watching the downward movement of the weight line. Seeing this can maintain your motivation and boost your confidence in you reaching your ultimate goal. You can use the same strategy when keeping a food diary. Either way, writing your actions down helps you become aware of your challenges as well as your strengths. As you continue to identify your strengths, you can use these to off-set the obstacles you encounter. No one is perfect but using the skills you have to reach your objective will eventually pay off.
