Find “my people”: Assemble a team of people that are encouraging and lift you up. These people might include a dietician, personal trainer, physician, a gym group or friends who want to join you in getting fit.
From fat to fit: Set goals and design your own program. You must set goals and decide how you will reach them. These goals need to include elements for both weight loss and exercise.
In the card game of life, honesty trumps denial: Establish accountability including self-accountability like journaling what you eat and how much you exercise. You can use a manual journal or one of the many free web based programs available. Report your information weekly to an outside source so that there is someone to help you keep things in perspective.
Become a student again: Learn, experiment and celebrate. Be prepared to learn new ways of cooking and dining out. Make notes of how foods affect your body. Continue to research fitness and make adjustments to your routine as you lose weight.
Recruit or regress: Promote and institutionalize by selling fitness to your friends and family members. Become a self-appointed fitness advocate and use every opportunity you can to encourage others to join you in leading a more healthy life.
