You know what? The answer to all these depends on your frame of mind.

Thoughts are very powerful. They affect your general attitude. They greatly affect your ability to lose weight successfully and permanently.

And it doesn't end there. Your attitude can also affect people around you. Positive thoughts are invigorating. The people around you are usually energized by this type of attitude. Negative thoughts on the other hand have a sapping effect on other people. Aside from making you look gloomy and sad, negative thoughts can turn a festive gathering into a funeral wake.

A positive attitude attracts people, while a negative attitude repels them. People tend to shy away from those who project a negative attitude.

We can also define attitude as the way of looking at the world. If you choose to focus on the negative things in the world, you make negative impression. However, if you choose to focus on the positive things, you are more likely carry a positive attitude.

And when you feel loved and accepted, you have more self-confidence. Adopting a positive attitude also helps one to handle stress and problems better than those who have a negative attitude.

A positive attitude begins with a healthy self-image. If you love who you are and are confident and optimistic, you make others feel the same way. Even with a lot of weight to lose, you can still respect yourself.

A negative attitude, on the other hand, has the opposite effect. So, adopting a negative attitude has a twofold drawback. If you feel bad about yourself, and you make others feel the same way. Very counter-productive if you are trying to lose weight.

You could watch a funny movie, you could play with children, spend some time telling jokes with friends. All these activities fill you with positive stimuli, which in turn promotes positive attitude.
