• Rewards: identify your rewards and keep them in sight, look at it every day and remind yourself there is something waiting for you at the end of month and end of your program for which you have been working hard for.
• Positivity: be positive about yourself and your life. Try to look at failure as an opportunity instead of a dead end. If you find a failure do not give up rather analyze make a fresh approach to the problem and try again.
• Preplan for temptations and deviations: analyze beforehand what makes over eat and be lazy. Make plans how to avoid the situation which leads you to break your weight loss regime.
• Emotional support: Identify beforehand where you will seek emotional help. Take out inspirational stories and quotes of people who have lost weight, identify a friend or a family member whom you can call if you need to talk out your frustration.
