Get psychology on your side
What psychological factors affect weight loss and how to deal with them?
- Beliefs and self-identity – Losing weight can be a real threat to who you perceive yourself to be deep down, recognize you are not changing the person you are, you are just changing into a healthier version of the person you already are
- Unmet needs – ensure you use this App and your pharmacist to help cover all areas that affect weight loss, focus on your goals.
- Black and white thinking – there is no one size fits all model so work with your pharmacist on developing a plan that suits you
- Thoughts/beliefs about what weight management means – try to think positively about your health and the steps you have already taken to making long term changes
- Confidence in your own capabilities – your pharmacist can help you develop your confidence over the course of this program
