| "When you're designing your weight management plan, do an inventory of your strengths and challenges. Write down what you do well, such as eating plenty of vegetables. Recognizing your strengths will give you confidence and help you carry out your plan." — Donald D. Hensrud, M.D., M.P.H. |

Write down your motivators
Make a list of the reasons for losing weight that are important to you. Do you want to be a healthy role model for your family? Fit into an old favorite dress? Lower your cholesterol? Keep that list of motivators in front of you, especially at moments of decision (do I really want that candy bar?). It's a great way to find the strength to get through challenging moments.
