Recognize All Your Successes !!Be careful not to focus on weight loss alone: Remember to reflect on and celebrate your successes as a parent, a spouse, a friend, an employee, and a volunteer, too. Weight loss takes time, and you’ll be accomplishing plenty of things other than shedding pounds. Did you learn something new at work? Improve your home or garden? Help your child with homework? Run errands for a sick friend? Raise money for charity? Keep a list of the non-weight-related thing...
