Begin each day with positive affirmations and gratitude in your heart. If you allow your self a few minutes each day to reflect on all that you have to be thankful for and repeat as many affirmations as you like, there won’t be any room for negativity. As many times as needed, reaffirm your belief in yourself, by taking time out to read over and when possible repeat your affirmations aloud. It is the ammunition you need when you are dieting in the dangerous world of bad eating habits.
