New Year's Weight Loss: Top 4 Tips for Moms to Lose More

The new "Don't Label Me" book that will be published by Tomgirlz Enterprises in a couple months is all about empowerment for women. Although the book won't be out in time for New Year's, here are some tips provided in the book that may be helpful for your weight loss resolution.

1. Don't Label Yourself as Fat
If you call yourself fat all the time, you will see yourself as fat. This alone can
seriously affect you reaching your goal. The label you give yourself is what you
say you are. Understand that you may need to lose some weight, but fat is not who
you are.

2.Don't Allow Others to Label You
When others refer to you as fat, you subconsciously allow them to tell you that's who you are. You need to ask them to stop. Let them know that you are working on losing weight, but by labeling you as fat, they are making it more difficult.

3. Give Yourself Skinny Self Talk
Let's face it, of all the motivational speaches and pep talks you can get, the ones you give yourself are most important. You need to talk to yourself like the success you are. Give yourself messages like, "I'm a skinny person, I just need to shed a couple of pounds to see her again" or "I am a caring, loving,wonderful person, fat is not who I am, it does not define me, and now I will take care of myself as well as I take care of everyone else!"

4. Diet Plan for the Mind
When it comes to losing weight, I really believe that we all know how we are supposed to eat and exercise. Fewer calories in, more burned off through the day...certainly no cookies, cakes, and ice cream. The problem is, we simply don't (or many say can't). Cravings, pain from exercise, too busy with family and work, these are all "excuses" we use at one time or another. Unfortunately, our weight loss goals will wait. If you want to reach those goals, it all starts in your MIND. How you think must start before what you eat.

No Labels For Moms Too!

The "no labels" message for children through the TOMGIRLZ chapter book series applies to moms as well. There are plans underway for a book just for moms that will be very inspirational and motivational. This book is in its infancy stage, as I am still writing the next TOMGIRLZ chapter book where children will learn about childhood obesity, teasing, and bullying through a fabulous new Tomgirlz character named Abigail who is dealing with these issues.

The title has already been selected and chapters designated, but I won't give it away yet...check back for more info on this very exciting addition from Tomgirlz Enterprises.
