Weight-Loss Strategy #9. Recognize and celebrate your accomplishments.
Over your lifetime you have probably been successful in tackling many difficult tasks—quitting smoking, learning a new skill, graduating from college, getting a promotion, and so on.
Reminding yourself of your best past achievements and successes can help you feel more confident about making the changes that will lead to weight loss.
In addition, celebrate your milestones with special treats, though not food related ones. Go the museum, a lovely natural setting, try a new activity you always wanted to try, get rid of your fat jeans and buy a slimmer pair. Also, being out of the house makes it less likely you will raid the fridge or engage in mindless eating!
