HOW TO USE THIS BOOK (Page 4) Read through the whole book and choose the tips most relevant to you to be worked on later. Read Tip 1 and 2 each morning to help you begin your day with a positive healthy mindset. You can choose to practice one tip per day or one tip per week. Once you have mastered that tip you can move onto the next. It is often best to start with the tip that is easiest first, then build on that by adding the next tip that is challenging for you. Be patient with yourself. It takes time to change habitual patterns. Change is not linear. Remember you are not a robot. As humans we are apt to go back and forth. Keep persevering. I do and I will . . . (Page 12-15) I vow, I make a solemn promise to myself for myself, from this day forth to take loving action to care for my mind, body and spirit. We choose to invest in education to improve our selves and to have a career. We choose a job to allow us financial freedom. We choose the place we live, the car we drive because it meets our needs and hopefully makes us happy. We make choices all the time to ensure our well-being and happiness. If you do not decide to do this with your health, what are the long-term consequences? For example, possible diabetes, high cholesterol, sore joints from carrying around extra weight, feeling unattractive, depression etc. In order to make change, you need to make not only a decision but a sincere commitment to yourself and your loved ones to choose a healthy lifestyle. This commitment is very serious, just like a marriage, or when you sign a contract. You are giving your word that you will keep working on this. You will not give up on yourself. You expect challenges and will persevere. You know that the contract does not end. It is continual for the rest of your life. In order to stop yourself from being overwhelmed by the magnitude of this decision and the fear of failure, it is best to commit in small increments - one minute at a time, one hour and one day at a time. REFLECTIONS What thoughts, feeling and concerns do I have about making this commitment to take care of my body? How do I feel about taking full responsibility for the choices I make? What mind set will help me during challenging times so I will not give up on my commitment? When I feel overwhelmed, can I give myself permission to commit to my health, one minute at a time, one hour at a time or one day at a time? Am I willing to write a contract to care for my health today? - If not, explore why

About the Book
It all starts with you! “This powerful, inspiring book shows you how to change your mind-set, shed weight, and keep it off for life” (Brian Tracy, best-selling international author of Get Over It and Get On with It). “Why we gain weight is more complex than just what we eat,” says Isobel McGrath, international counselor, life coach, and hypnotherapist. “Focusing on our overall, long-term health is much more productive and powerful.” Tip 1: Erase the word “diet” from your mind and your vocabulary. Perhaps like millions of others, diets aren’t working for you. The truth is, there is no quick fix. This book will help you make lasting adjustments in your mind-set. A new mind-set is key to affecting the choices you make around food and eating. These tips and tools encourage you to take control of your eating behavior.

Finally, you can gain the mind-set that encourages you to focus and persevere, even when a slip occurs. These 21 winning tips are easily implemented and will create the psychological foundation necessary for a healthy lifestyle.
