Get your mind ready for weight loss

After figuring out what is causing you to gain weight and figuring out your weight loss plan; then, we need to make sure our mind is ready for the journey.  Getting yourself in the right mindset is, in my opinion, the biggest piece to the puzzle.  We must learn to think of ourselves and healthy foods more positively and learn to think of unhealthy foods as "not so great after all."  We also need to learn how to self talk when we are facing weak moments.  Too often, when we are feeling weak, we start rationalizing and talking ourselves into eating that food we shouldn't.  Instead, we must learn how to talk ourselves out of caving into the pressure.

Mother's Day Health Tip

 Sometimes getting a break to recharge is needed to keep us motivated &  healthy.  So I wish you a happy pampered Mother's Day.  Getting a day to take a bubble bath, rest, read a book, shop without the kids, get a manicure or your hair done can really help you feel refreshed and beautiful.  When we feel rested and feel better about ourselves, we want to treat ourselves and our bodies better; thus, we take better care of our health.  So if you have someone you trust to watch the kids every once in a while so that you can take some time for just you, then I would recommend it.  Afterall, a de-stressed mom, is going to be more interactive with their children when they return.

Weight Loss Thought

I like to give myself a "free" meal on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for dinner.  On those days, I can eat whatever I want.  This helps me stay motivated throughout the week.  Like this morning, I woke up and thought, wow it is already Wednesday.  Tomorrow is my last day before I get my "free" meal.

Tip to stop nibbling our calories

Instead of nibbling on high calorie snack foods that never satisfy and leave you wanting more, eat vegetables.  You could nibble on almost as many non-starchy vegetables  as you want throughout the day because they are so low in calories.  I would keep a huge bag of carrots on my desk and eat and eat and eat those carrots.  Then I was able to keep myself from eating the junk food in between meals.  Also, because I wasn't starving at meal time, I didn't over eat my breakfast, lunches, and dinners.

New Lower Prices

I decided to lower some prices because I wanted to have one of the lowest dietitian prices around.  Many dietitians charge $90 per sessions and on the lower end charge around $45 per session, so I made my prices $35 per online session.  So I provide a high quality service but I am one of the least expensive.  I also provide more for the price.  My book, dvds, menu plan, and customized plan are all included.  www.ngosweightlosscenter.com.
