to food to mask your feelings or medicate emotional distress.

you started. You've thought about your weight a million times. You may
have tried a dozen diets. Then you were introduced to TLS®, Now you
realize that your history does not dictate your future and you are able
to break the cycle.
TIPS TO ENSURE YOUR HEALTHY BEHAVIORS LAST
1. DON'T MAKE EXCUSES.
Fully understand the consequences of how you intend to live your life
from here on out There are not many choices we have in life, but we
do have the choice every day to eat healthy and add in exercise. Deep
down, you will know if you're letting an excuse get in the way of your
continued commitment
2. MAKE A CONTINUED COMMITMENT
Permanent weight loss takes time, effort and a lifelong commitment.
Make sure you are ready to keep up with all the changes that you've
made over the last 12 weeks. No one else can make you lose weight or
gain weight., .except you!
3. SET YOUR GOALS.
Revisit your goals on an ongoing basis. Continue to make SMART goals
and continue to make short- and long-term goals. Nothing is better than
checking a goal you've achieved off your list.
4. JOURNAL.
Continue to journal, Many overlook the importance of journaling for
accountability. According to studies, people who journal lose more
weight and have a heightened awareness of their nutrient intake, TLS
recommends you journal until you achieve your goals, and even after if it
helps keep you on track, A two-year study proved that individuals who
journal and kept food logs lost twice the weight than those who did not,
5. REWARD YOURSELF — but NOT with FOOD!
As you reach your goals, give yourself a pat on the back and celebrate
your success. Get a massage, get a makeover go on a shopping spree or
book a vacation. Do something for yourself that you wouldn't normally
do unless you hit a milestone.
6. CHOOSETHE RIGHT INFLUENCES,
By now, most of your friends and family probably know that you've
adopted a healthier lifestyle, Beware of those people who insist that since
you are at or near your goal weight you owe it to yourself to indulge a
bit.The reality is that you owe it to yourself to remain healthy and not let
your hard work be undone, Nothing tastes as good as fit feels!
7. DO A CLOSET CLEANUR
Throw out or donate the "fat" wardrobe. Keeping those clothes around
means you are thinking of keeping them for"just in case," If you hang on
to those larger size clothes, subconsciously you are expecting to fit back
into them some day. Having no "fat" clothes around to return to is a
motivating factor in reaching your new goals,Throw out your past
8. DON'T GET DISCOURAGED
If you have a bad day or are not getting results as fast as you would like,
don't use this setback to stop progress entirely, whether consciously or
subconsciously. You will experience setbacks; everyone does.They are a
natural part of progress, Do not let a bad -choice turn into a bad day,
which turns into a bad week, then a bad month and then a bad year;
before you know it you're back where you started. The tlsSlim.com
community will give you the support you need to stay on track.
9. FAIL-PROOF YOUR ENVIRONMENT
Have strategies in place to overcome potential challenges and temptations.
For most of us it is eating out, eating away from home or eating too much
while you are on vacation or traveling.Take some time to think ahead and
plan on overcoming those situations.
a Eat dinner before you go to the party or wedding
• Choose a restaurant that you know has a variety of
good choices
• Be confident and assertive with the wait staff and let them
know you want your food prepared a certain way, such as
dressing on the side, no sauce or baked instead of fried
10. KEEP YOUR FOCUS ON LONG TERM HEALTH.
Your body is a complex machine.To keep it running optimally in a toxic
environment you need to give your body a fighting chance.This includes
supplementation for optimal health, not just for weight loss. Are you
eating 12 servings of vegetables every day? Are you eating a majority
of your foods organic? Do you ever consume things that deplete your
vitamin stores, like NSAIDS (ibuprofen or the like), alcohol or coffee? We
live in a world where getting the bare minimum of nutrients to offset
disease and perform optimally is difficult to do with our regular diet
In addition to targeted supplementation, consult your TLS Coach about
recommendations for optimizing your health.
11. SHARE YOUR STORY A N D PAY IT FORWARD.
Share your story with others and on tlsSlim.com and on social media.
• The best way to stay on track is to share your story, about
where you started and the experiences you had, Share with
your coworkers, your friends, family and on social media.
•You will excite others to a better lifestyle, just as someone
did for you
• You will empower others, which will also help you to stay on
track. Make the decision each and every day of who you will
be and what you will become
