Journaling
Your Progress
Top weight loss physicians require patients to record their progress
in journals. They know that journaling is an important tool in starting
and maintaining healthy change. In fact, recording your 3 week progress
is a great way to:
-
Make yourself accountable for each day.
-
Gain the confidence and knowledge you need to live a healthy lifestyle.
-
See changes and real improvements on paper (this is a reliable objective
measure - not a self-judgment based on what the scale says!)
-
Help your mind focus on the goal at hand each and every day.
-
See how changes were made so that you can maintain your progress (and even
review what to do if you get off track).
-
Share your success and strategies with others who need help.
Use the small notebook, binder, composition book or even your computer
and write you down your meals, activities, progress and feelings every
day. Even if your entry is only one sentence long, be sure to write
SOMETHING everyday.
