Postpartum Weight Loss- Stop Focusing On Losing Weight, Focus On Being Healthy

When people want to get in shape the first thing they typically do is focus on losing weight.  Focusing on the number on the scale can be overwhelming and often discouraging.  Instead of focusing on losing weight focus on being healthy.  Ask yourself, “Why is it important for me to be healthy?” ”What actions will I do in order to be healthy? Write it down.  Then take small steps such as walking for 5-10 min. and or eating more fruit and less candy.  Keep the reason behind “why” you want to be healthy.  The “why” behind being healthy will keep you motivated.
