It can be a true challenge to maintain the necessary motivation for your weight loss plans while you’re on a weight loss program. there are so many temptations and possible excuses that it’s incredibly hard to remain centered on your diet plan.To successfully lose weight you’ve got to have a compelling reason to try and do so. Those individuals who have successfully lost weight always have had very compelling reasons to try and do so. The individuals who are always struggling with their weight and not really pleased with themselves are the folks without compelling reasons to lose weight.Progress Motivation Cha nge…  How can you achieve this level of motivation which permits you to both lose weight and keep it off?

The answer is, in fact, to have some powerful reasons for you to lose weight. They would like to be more, like “because I need to fit in a dress” or “because I am overweight” or “since I ought to”.

You need reasons that electrify you and set your brain on fire with your want to achieve them!  You want reasons that are highly motivating for you such as “If I stay overweight then I might end up dying of a heart attack like my father which means that I will not get to see my little girl grow up, get married and make me a grandparent”. Is that a motivating reason?

What is motivating for you could be utterly unique compared to what is motivating for the next person. You need to assume up your own motivating reasons since motivating is a terribly individual thing.

When doing this, any reason that includes a ‘should’ or an ‘ought’ hooked up to it is not motivating enough. Shoulds and Oughts aren’t real reasons at all, they’re get out of jail free cards! If you ought to do something then it means that you don’t wish to do it but feel you have got to out of a sense of obligation or guilt! That’s not going to inspire you, is it ?  No Really, is it?

 

• Do you have children?
• Will you be going on a big date or to a wedding or alternative event within the near future?
• Have you been warned by your doctor regarding your weight?

Write down all the reasons why you must lose weight on a piece of paper. Don’t stop writing, just write every reason you’ll be able to think of no matter how huge or small down.

Discard all the shoulds, oughts and less motivating reasons until you are left with the strongest reasons. Now rewrite them using positive language to provide you with maximum motivation.

Choose four or five of the most motivating reasons and write them out on to a piece of card or paper. You can then carry it around or stick it somewhere you can see it each day such as the fridge or toilet mirror.  Put this card or paper in front of you as you are doing your walk on your treadmill.  It depends on your living arrangements as to which you do.

What is important is that every day you read these reasons in the morning and in the evening. Just after you get up and right before you go to bed is a sensible time to do this. This ensures you always bear in mind your powerful reasons which provides you motivation each day to stay on your diet.

With this easily attainable level of motivation you may find dieting becomes way easier and weight loss surprisingly simple.
