It sounds so basic, but making a list of all of the reasons why you want to lose weight can be an extremely powerful tool. Try to think of even the small, everyday improvements in your life that can be realized through succeeding at your weight loss goals. Your list might include wanting to be able to play on the floor with your children, get off of blood pressure medication, wear a certain size of clothing, ride on a rollercoaster, or fit into an airplane seat more comfortably. Whatever your reasons are, write them down. When you are tempted to eat off-plan, take out your list and read it to remind yourself of what you're working for. Actually picture yourself succeeding at every item on your list. Reviewing your list frequently and visualizing yourself achieving your goals are extremely helpful in maintaining your focus.
