“Always bear in mind that your own resolution to success is more important than any other one thing."
Abraham Lincoln
Losing weight is challenging at the best of times, but with poor self-esteem it becomes even more difficult. If you do not think you deserve to look and feel good, why bother? When you have confidence and high self-esteem, you naturally believe that you deserve to look and feel better. To gain this self-confidence, congratulate yourself for small achievements, and believe in your ability to eventually achieve your long-term goal of permanent weight loss with a strong, healthy body.
