Losing over 50 pounds can be a real mental as well as physical challenge. Knowing what you need to do and actually doing it are two very different things. In order to lose all that weight, you must be mentally prepared. Go into it knowing that you will be challenged, but that you are fully capable of meeting the challenge and winning. I have done it and you can do it, too.
When you are 50 pounds or more overweight, your task truly is different from the typical dieter who wants to lose 5, 10 or even 20 pounds.

Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Everything you go to do should be done “today”. When you have the mindset of “tomorrow”, every important project gets delegated to the future.

When you wake up, know that you are going to do everything you can to be fit and healthy TODAY.
