As we all know, but from time to time benefit from being reminded …<\/p>\n

… those who reach their weight loss goals are the people who get back on the wagon again and again. Those who succeed experience setbacks as learning experiences and temporary lapses.\u00a0 Those who permanently remove their excess weight understand that there are no magic bullets, no quick fixes.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

That\u00a0 said … Here are a few out of the weight loss box tips that can help you to get (back) on track and stay there!\u00a0 <\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Practice Loving-Kindness.<\/strong> Please stop saying mean things to yourself and being so hard on yourself. (If someone else called you a fat pig, you\u2019d punch them in the nose!)<\/strong><\/p>\n

One Day at a Time.<\/strong>\u00a0 Take each day as it comes.\u00a0 As long as you are truly committed to your plan \u2013 to yourself \u2013 you are on the right track and you ARE succeeding.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Postcards From the Edge.<\/strong>\u00a0 Buy a pack of postcards or greeting cards. Mail yourself a kind and encouraging note. \u00a0 It\u2019s okay to be quirky, kooky and creative when it comes to permanent fat removal! \u201cHi Jane, I know how hard it was for you to say no to that cake. Bravo and thanks. Love, Jane\u201d\u00a0 Getting mail is so much fun.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Get Support.<\/strong> The Kick in the Tush Club<\/a> is here to support and serve you. Join now!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Make \u201cYes, I Can!\u201d Your Mantra.<\/strong>\u00a0 Sing it to yourself, say it to yourself; take it in on the deepest level.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 80\/20 Rule.<\/strong>\u00a0 No one is perfect 100% of the time. Praise Be!\u00a0 Imagine how dull that would be?! If you follow your plan 80% of the time, and treat yourself to an occasional treat 20% of the time, you should be able to easily achieve your weight loss goals.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Practice Gratitude:<\/strong> Every night before you go to sleep, jot down at least five things that you are grateful for. Eating is often about filling a void. Fill up on gratitude for all that you do have!<\/p>\n

All Is Forgive, Move On.<\/strong>\u00a0 Last but not least, confess your food sins to Our Lady of Weight Loss, receive forgiveness and move on!!!<\/p>\n

WEIGHTY CONFESSION<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dear Our Lady of Weight Loss …
\n… Forgive Me for I Have Sinned<\/strong><\/p>\n

I sucked down three Bellini cocktails with the strength of a Dyson vacuum cleaner.<\/p>\n

All Is Forgiven.\u00a0 Move On.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
Spread the word \u2026 NOT the icing!
