What does success look like for you?

Do you have a photo of your former self you’d like to get back to? An inspiring image of someone you feel is the epitome of health. Stick it somewhere you can see - visualising is the key!

Focus

Focus on the habits that will get you there like reducing stress, exercising and consistently eating a healthy breakfast - more than a third of people often shun breakfast and one in 10 never eat it! Don’t try to do everything at once - choose one and stick with it until it becomes a habit before introducing another.

Get some support

Get a friend involved so you can support each other or join a group such as a walking or jogging group, dance class, gym, etc.

We all have tough days and having people that will encourage and motivate you can make a huge difference. The magic of starting now - you have time! There is no need for extreme and sometimes unhealthy measures.
