by Sarah Jio, Glamour

When it comes to slimming down, attitude, apparently, plays a big role! Special K (yes, the cereal brand), recently surveyed weight-conscious women across the country and they say that overall, women who are more positive about weight loss are more likely to lose and keep the weight off than those who tend to approach things from a more negative place.

Fascinatingly, the study found that:
* Women who think positively about weight management were more likely to achieve their specific weight loss goals.
* Not only did women who think positively about their weight management report that they were more successful in losing or maintaining their weight, they were actually eight times less likely to report having gained weight than women who think negatively.
* Women who think positively about weight management report that they are 25% more likely to succeed in maintaining their weight
* 9 out of 10 women who think positively about weight management reported either losing weight or maintaining their weight in the past year, compared to only about half of women with a negative approach.
