It is also a good idea to take a photo of your body at the start of your weight loss program because we often forget the progress we make and looking back at those photo’s can be handy to offer encouragement at times when you feel like the going might be a little difficult.
Document your progress, create a weight loss journal of your progress from week to week and review it from time to time for added encouragement.
