Ready, Set, Accountable.

Tiny Tummy Tips, Issue #55--Accountability is KEY to success.

So make a game plan for how you’ll stay responsible for what you do, AND what you don’t do! Your long-term success is riding on it.

Top Strategies for Accountability

It's not only what you do, but also what you don't do... for which you are accountable.

Regular Check-ins….with SOMEONE

(like me!)

But you could also regularly check in with a spouse, a friend, or even a Facebook group. Simply be willing to have honest discussions about your choices (not your weight).

Say what you’ll do. Do what you say.

So, who is YOUR accountability “buddy” (or team of buddies) gonna be?!

Dear Diary

I know, I know. It’s no one’s favorite. BUT…it’s one of the most valuable tools in your weight loss toolbox!

Does this sound familiar: You reach for that food you “shouldn’t” be eating, and think to yourself, “I’ll just get back on track tomorrow, or "I'll just workout extra hard tomorrow."

But let's face it, “tomorrow” never comes.

That's why keeping a food diary is essential. It’s a form of personal accountability…for what you do…and don’t do. And it doesn’t matter whether you show it to anyone or not.

When you make a choice, “good” or “bad,” own it, by writing it.

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

Self-awareness is key to understanding your triggers, behaviors, and areas needing improvement. Conduct honest evaluations of your choices.

If you’ve worked with me, you’ve likely heard me repeatedly say, “There’s never failure, only learning.” Acknowledge any setbacks without self-judgment, learn from them, and recalibrate your strategies moving forward.

So take a moment to gaze into the mirror and give yourself a big ol' high-five! Reflect on your journey so far, from the highs to the lows. Celebrate your successes, embrace your imperfect choices, and give yourself permission to laugh, cry, and everything in between.

Keep in mind, holding yourself accountability is not about perfection but rather about consistency, resilience, and the unwavering commitment to your goals.

Embrace accountability as a powerful tool on your path towards a healthier, happier you!!

Now...How will you stay accountable?
