When you make any change, there are always down-sides (the cons) as well as up sides (the pros). Write down your own pros and cons of losing weight. For example, ‘pros’ could be looking better in my clothes and having more energy. While ‘cons’ could be not always eating what I want and making time for a daily walk.

Once you’ve done that then consider do your pros outweigh your cons? If they do then now maybe a good time to start making changes however if the ‘cons’ still definitely win, then maybe this isn’t the right time for you to be losing weight. You could revisit this process in a few months time when things may be different for you.
