As You Begin Your Weight Loss Journey, You Are Bound to Encounter Obstacles<\/h2>\n

There will be moments when you won\u2019t feel comfortable in your skin. You may face overwhelming feelings of shame and failure when you won’t achieve the results you expected at first.<\/p>\n

In reality, your attitude is one of the most important things when it comes to losing weight. So for sustainable weight loss, I recommend working with your mind first.<\/p>\n

My name is\u00a0Roos van Monsjou<\/strong>, and I am a certified health and wellness coach. I have counseled, inspired, and helped many people lose weight sustainably in my many years of practice. In this article, I want to give you\u00a05 tips on working with your mindset\u00a0<\/strong>and losing weight successfully in the long run.<\/p>\n

Tip #1 \u2013 Focus on the Measurement, Not Scales<\/h2>\n

Countless people obsess over the number on the scale every day. One morning, they get on the scale, see the weight loss stop, feel disappointed, blame the process, and eventually give up. So when I start working with my clients, I always say to them: “Give the scale to your neighbor, put it in the shed, throw it away.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The truth is, no matter which program you are following,\u00a0you will hit a weight loss plateau at some point<\/strong>. It’s inevitable. It’s part of the process. Your body needs to adjust to the new you. So don’t get discouraged and be prepared to measure your progress in other ways.<\/p>\n

Why not try on some old clothes instead? Or take your body measurements? You may be doing better than your scales show. I always say:\u00a0if you eat right, you can\u2019t go wrong<\/strong>. So trust the program you chose \u2013 you will get there eventually.<\/p>\n

Tip #2 \u2013 Take Ownership of the Decisions You Make<\/h2>\n

The saying “go hard or go home” may work in a fitness club but won\u2019t apply to sustainable, healthy weight loss. After all, we are human, not robots. So don\u2019t blame yourself if you get off track. Trust me \u2013 it happens to even the healthiest and most dedicated people. Take me, for example. I have a glass of champagne every now and then. And I\u00a0love\u00a0<\/em>to enjoy a slice of lemon meringue pie when I feel like it.<\/p>\n

When I choose to eat treats that taste good to me, I enjoy them without guilt or shame. Feeling guilty, ashamed, or stressed about the choices you make is not good for your health.\u00a0So be proud of your decisions<\/strong>. For example, if you are hosting a party where you know there will be cake and alcohol, say…<\/p>\n

\u201c…I choose to go for the piece of cake.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201c…I choose to go for the glass of champagne.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Healthy weight loss is all about balance, treating your body with respect, and being kind to yourself.<\/p>\n

Tip #3 \u2013 Influence Your Subconscious Mind<\/h2>\n

Your subconscious mind influences you in more ways than you may realize. It controls the way you talk to yourself when you look in the mirror, for example. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to train your subconscious mind and influence positive thinking.\u00a0You can do that with simple mental exercise.<\/strong><\/p>\n

First of all, there are two moments in the day when your subconscious mind is the easiest to influence:<\/p>\n
