Acupuncture Weight Loss - Fact or Fantasy
What is Obesity, and What is Overweight? And can Acupuncture help....
A Healthy Diet Plan
can do it. If you are discouraged, you will not be
able to do it. You must think, I CAN LOSE WEIGHT. I WILL
LOSE WEIGHT. I WILL GET HEALTHY STARTING RIGHT NOW!
This may seem a little over the top - but it's not.
You need to get yourself into a healthy mindset. You need
to give yourself positive reinforcement and pump yourself up.
You may need some help to get into a healthy mindset.
It is not a weakness to admit that you need
help. In order to be a healthy person, you have to admit
that sometimes you just can't do it by yourself. You may
need the help of a trained professional (a doctor, a dietician,
a personal trainer) or simply a support network of friendly
people. If you have tried to do it on your own and have failed,
then it is time to get the help that you need - start with your
family physician.
Your support network can be composed of people that
are available for you to talk to, they should be positive people
and they should believe in YOU.
If you don't want to count on your friends and family - you may
need to go out and pay for a diet plan - Weight Watchers,
Jenny Craig, NutriSystem are a few of the programs that also
provide a support network of actual people you can talk
to and find encouragement from.
