Sam wants to know if kids should be taught to take a political or moral stand?

10 weight loss tips

 
If you are trying to lose weight, these tips will help you to stay on the wagon.

 
1. Keep a food diary and put a plan of action together as soon as you've pin-pointed your bad eating habits.

2. If you add up all the additional things that you eat, you'll immediately notice that it's a lot more than a small bite or an extra helping here and there. One extra plate of food per night equates to seven loaves of bread a week!

3. Do not get despondent if you fall off the wagon. Instead, get right back on by resuming your healthy eating plan as soon as possible.

4. Set short-term goals – that way the journey will seem easier and shorter.

5. Visualise yourself in a beautiful dress or in a bikini on the beach, then write it down.

6. Acknowledge what it is that causes you to overeat. You can't change what you refuse to acknowledge.

7. Get professional help if you don't feel up to going it alone.

8. Do at least one thing every day to combat bad habits and cultivate healthy ones.

9. Don't tell people you're on a diet. If someone asks, say you're trying to eat more healthily.

10. Do not reward yourself with food. It's an easy reward that doesn't mean a thing. Stop thinking that food will make you feel better. Reward yourself with something substantial – even if it means spending some money on yourself for once.
