' I’ m feeling sexy and energetic again ' One secret is to think about how great you will feel afterwards, when you reach your goal. Think of the wind in your hair or the cool splash of the water.

And think of this: getting active helps you lose weight. And when you do, you will have a fit and active body with which to enjoy your new life, a body that will obey you and take you places you never dreamed possible.
It might be that you’ ve always thought exercise wasn’ t for you. Maybe you were never the‘ sporty’ one in your group of friends. Maybe you think people will laugh at you.

The strong, slim, healthy person who loves to exercise so much they have to fit their day around it.
