Focus on your goals
“Reassure yourself that you’ll get there in the end. Envisage your goal and imagine yourself being there if you feel your willpower slipping.”
Weigh yourself at the same time every week
“I always say weigh on a Friday morning, because if you weigh after a weekend or in the evening, it’s an untrue reading as your body is probably carrying more water. And seeing a gain, or no loss, will ruin your motivation.”
Keep hydrated
“Drinking water will keep you feeling full, and stop you from confusing thirst with hunger.”
Pick your sweet treats carefully
“If you feel your willpower slipping, then have an low fat hot chocolate or some sugar free jelly, it will satisfy the craving without spelling disaster for your weight loss.”
Eat frozen fruit
“If your mind is wandering to food, freeze some grapes or blueberries and snack on a handful of those. It will take you longer to eat and keep you occupied for longer.”
