Mental attitude is directly related to appearance. When a person is fat, he hate himself,become unhappy and eat to make himself better. So to breakout this destructive cycle he must adopt a new mental attitude.
The very first step to losing weight is the acknowledgment that "You can do it".When you get up in the morning look up into the mirror and say, "Today I'm going to do better". Positive suggestion would wipe out the negativity in your subconscious.
All day you face the decisions about food.For example, after a few hours of dinner,  due to loneliness and boredom you may want to eat something.Before going to the refrigerator, stop a moment and ask yourself that do you really want this piece of cake.You must control yourself this time.
End your day with some comforting words before starting to exercise in evening. You must say yourself that weight is not going to come off over night, but eventually it will. "Tomorrow will be a better day."
Reinforce the love and respect for yourself.
You need to eat the proper balance diet. Food has been broken into four major groups: Protein,
vegetables/fruits ,milk and bread/cereal.You must take a balance amount of food from every major group.By paying attention, keeping tuned into what you are eating , and adjusting your appetite to your body's needs, you can find the perfect balance of your body.
You must also take care of timings before having a food. The later in the day you eat, the lighter you must eat. You can take heavier foods during day time because you have a chance to burn high calories.Don't buy fattening foods and always fill your fridge with vegetables like radish, carrots or cauliflower. Put some grapes in your freezer and whenever you have an urge to eat something cold and sweet ,pop in a frozen grape. You will love its sweet , refreshing sensation.
