Skinny State of Mind

One thing I'm going to do on this blog is offer weight loss tips that have helped me. Here's the first: I've found that to lose fat, I have to keep it in my consciousness, to be aware of it pretty much all the time; in other words, I have to stay in a skinny state of mind.

If I lose that focus, I find myself mindlessly eating.

To keep from doing that, I find that it helps to do things like look at photos of thin people for inspiration, think about the great fashions I can wear when I'm slimmer, plan what I eat in advance, and imagine getting compliments and positive attention for being slim.

Of course, sometimes just pinching myself at the waist and feeling that fat is enough to remind me to get back on track. ;-)
