13_Leave numbers out of it
For women in particular, focusing too much on the scale or the inches can be demotivating. Instead, focus on the things you can control.
Besides, staring at the scale or yourself in the mirror isn’t going to make the weight disappear. Devote yourself to working out for 30 minutes or make sure you get your servings of vegetables for the day.
Focusing on the things that can make us healthier will have a positive impact on your weight loss. Try to see your weight loss in the clothes you wear. Do they look better? Do they feel like a better fit? That should be your yardstick for measuring your success in terms of weight loss.

If you really want it, you’ll do what it takes to get there no matter what obstacles get in your way. You can do it!
