No-Fail Tip #1: Get Your Head in the Game

“Losing weight is 50 percent attitude, so you have to really want it. The sad truth is it’s not really worth making a weight loss resolution if you’re not fully committed.”

“Do some serious soul-searching and identify a significant and enduring source of personal motivation for shedding the extra weight -- maybe it’s to better manage health conditions, be around for your kids and grandkids, finally feel more comfortable in your own skin or boost your energy level. The bottom line is that this motivation has to come from within YOU.”
