When I'm stuck and feel like giving up, I'll write down my goals and how I will achieve them. What will happen when I do reach my goals? How will I feel? How has my life changed? Write it all down, and really visualize how you would feel. how it would feel to walk the beach with a great body, or wearing that dress, talking long walks with the kids without feeling exhausted ...
I know it sounds stupid, and people have even laughed at me when I've told them. But trust me on this one.
The fact is, that people who are writing down their goals have a much higher chance of achieving them. They go from being an intangible thought in your head to being an actual goal. Have you read the book "Think and grow rich'? I know it's about accumulating and building wealth, but the very same concepts apply to losing weight (or any other achievement that will have to be done in small steps over a period of time).
