Here is a strategy to reach and maintain your goal. Create a personal mission statement for yourself and put it in an envelope with before and after pictures of yourself. This will remind you of your hard work and serve as an oath to your healthy lifestyle change. Make at least three copies and keep the envelopes in easily accessible spots so that you can remind yourself of your job well done!
