There's something fundamental you have to understand about yourself before you can change your life for good.

To think about your life is to create it. You have to take ownership of where you are right now and know where you want to go before you can get there. Keep collecting evidence for your success. You can believe it, and you can be it.

Stop seeing the obstacles you face as reasons why you can't do something. See them as a reason why you can. And celebrate your accomplishments on a daily basis.

You just have to start putting one foot in front of the other, making an effort to get healthy every day.

You have to track every single thing you eat if you want to keep posting big numbers on the scale each week.

When weight loss becomes a goal in your life, eating right and exercising are just two pieces of the puzzle. Figuring out why you've put on the extra weight is the hardest part.
