Getting Ready

Now we are going to start to get you motivated:

Now that you have decided to lose weight your first goal is to start a food diary. I would do this for a month as this will help you to see your eating activites and will give you an indication when you are not eating the right foods. ie. when you make the children's dinner do you pick at it if they haven't eaten it all, or do you have a bar of chocolate when you see your favourtite program, or do you have a few glasses of wine when your partner comes in. Once you have completed your diary you will be suprised at how often you pick and eat the wrong things.

This will give you your focus. If necessary put an unflattering photo of yourself on the fridge. This will help you stay motivated to keep away from the biscuits, cskes and crisps.
