Introducing a three part series
Welcome to our three-part series, “The Doctor Says I Have To Lose 30 Pounds.” In this series, we’ll explore the emotional and physical challenges of life as a busy woman, give practical tips for making healthier choices, and offer strategies for long-term success. Whether you’re starting your own weight loss journey or thinking about starting one, this series is here to give you hope. Here is PART TWO. Part One is here in case you want to go back.
A Simple Morning Habit
She has been looking everywhere on the internet for easy ways to lose 30 pounds.
The first thing she does is to start drinking a glass of water while her coffee brews. She’s normally a perfectionist (which gets in the way of any progress she makes) but taking this one baby step makes her feel better about herself.
This one thing may not help her lose 30 pounds but it makes her feel like she is doing something positive for herself.
Confidence Boosters
She also has a post-it note on her coffee maker that says she is fabulous, one on her closet door that says she is amazing, and one on her alarm clock that says she is wonderful. She doesn’t believe them yet, but she still says them out loud to herself.
Mindful eating
She still eats chocolate mint cookies at night while she’s winding down but now she puts four on a plate instead of eating them out of the bag. This keeps her from mindlessly noshing on the empty calories. She can always go in the kitchen and get four more if she wants.
Better Sleep
Her friends at work have told her about some good books they have read so she has started going to bed a little earlier and is reading.
She’s falling asleep easier and isn’t as tired in the morning so her days start off better.
Her mood is improving everyday, life is getting better.
Best of all, her weight doesn’t matter as much anymore.
