Bring out the positive side of losing weight.
You hear the gurus and magazines talking about it all the time, “stay positive and you’ll succeed” they say. It’s thought that focusing on the positive as opposed to the negative is a more effective strategy and it does seem to be a strategy that works. When you’re using a mobile calorie tracker to journal the foods and drinks that you take in, you can focus on the positive by adding healthy foods to your diet instead of trying to just cut out unhealthy foods. Additions to your diet are a positive act, and by adding in nutrient dense foods like fruit and vegetables, there will be less room for junk food and foods containing empty calories.
Another way to focus on the positive while using a mobile calorie counter is to change the way you look at your goals. If you think of your calorie goal as “this is how many calories I get to eat in a day”, instead of “I only have x number of calories I’m allowed to eat in a day”, you can make yourself feel better about staying within your calorie goal. It suddenly changes from being something that is restricting and negative to being a free goal that you are happy about achieving.
Positivity with a mobile food diary can be more than just how you think about your goals; it can also be in how you deal with challenges as well. Instead of beating yourself up over a failure, you can move on and resolve to work harder the next day. Positive thinking can help you with your weight loss by giving you the extra little bit of motivation to get you through. It’s also a great strategy for overcoming challenges and coming up with solutions for everyday issues that you may have when it comes to meeting your calorie goals.
By focusing on positive things while you are using your mobile food journal you can increase your ability to lose weight. Sometimes the biggest hurdle can be in overcoming negative emotional reactions to daily events, and by focusing on what is positive you can help yourself over those hurdles. It’s a lot easier to add foods to your diet than to take them away, and that’s a great place to start.
