Minimizing FUD
fear, uncertainty, doubt
Visualization
Not only being able to visualize desired results (thinner, buffer) but must visualize the means to those ends
Scheduled Negativity
Schedule one time of day and one place to think negative thought. During workout, if negative thoughts arise, you remind yourself that there will be a set time to do that later
Recording Your Own Progress
Keep your own records of exercise and eating. Tell the client that in clinical studies, this kind of self monitoring has been shown to reduce alcohol consumption, smoking, disruptive behavior, nail biting, and hallucinations.
