Long term success with weight loss and health is so much to do with how you think about yourself, your self talk and body confidence. When you love who you are, you want to nourish your body and take care of yourself.

If you are a mother, think about how your actions impact your children. If you are always bitching about your body, having fat days and doing crazy diets - what message is that sending to your children?

Try and find something positve about your body everyday, even something small such as having nice eyes or legs that help you to walk.

Just like houses are built brick by brick, start re-building your body image, by positive comments to yourself every day!
