Looking for weight loss
motivation?
Sometimes
it takes more than just saying you are ready to do something. There is
usually a pivotal point in a person's life when they realize that it's
time to stop saying and time to start doing.
Maybe you are at
this point. but even so it takes a bit more than just doing. While you
are ready to take action and make that big change and you find yourself
full of energy and determination to start but in many cases over time,
maybe a couple days or a couple weeks, your weight loss motivation will
hinder and sometimes decline below your determination.
There
are several things that can hinder or even kill your weight loss
motivation:
Not seeing fast enough results (no
change on the scale after working hard)
Maybe you are watching the scale and you
have gained "weight"
Perhaps you don't have anyone to drive
you besides yourself
Let's
face it, exercise hurts. If it wasn't hard or a challenge then every
single person would be fit and healthy because they would love to
workout.
Our body wants nothing to do with pain and working out
hurts, your body and mind will fight you unless you have solid
convictions towards your weight loss motivation. But sometimes, even
so, your mind can win by telling you to take a day off... And you
listen.
Come on, we all
are human. We all get lazy. We all find reasons and justifications to
avoid doing something even though we know it's good for us.
So how do you find and stay consistent
with your weight loss?
How do you create a solid source of
weight loss motivation for days, weeks, and even years to come?
How do you stay accountable to your
fitness and your health?
I
am going to tell you right now that the best way to stay active and
healthy is to know deep within yourself that you are ready to take the
challenge no matter what it may be. That you will be willing to fight
back even when the scale tells you nothing is happening, you will use
that and continue to push forward.
You need to have a solid goal
in mind that you will do what it takes, even when things move slowly or
things in life hinder progress, you will pick up and push yourself.
Having
continuous weight loss motivation has a lot to do with Mindset. You
must know within yourself, within your core being, that you will accept
every situation as a challenge. Even if life throws you off for a week
and you have greater concerns, at the end of the week your fitness will
pick back up.
What I want
to
tell you is what i feel to be the strongest motivator, an incredibly
powerful source of weight loss motivation - I am talking beyond
pictures, beyond video, beyond weight and measurements.
What is this
priceless source of weight loss motivation?
It
is finding and connecting with those who are where you are and those
who have gone beyond where you are. Connect with like minds. You see,
surrounding yourself with those that will support you without waiver
will be your number one tool.
You can push yourself and have the
strongest convictions of your life, but there will always be days when
you just plain don't want to do anything. When you can't muster the
strength to push yourself forward.
Imagine how powerful a tool
that on those days when you can't seem to crawl. Picture having a group
or people, a community of like minds, a mass consciousness of better
health and determination. Suddenly you can connect with those that have
been there, they offer you the words to get moving and remind you of
why the heck your here in the first place.
Connect with others.
Stay accountable not just to yourself
but with those you surround yourself with.
Join a community forum or local group
with unwavering convictions like your own.
I tend to say this a lot because I feel it is very powerful and true.
"Alone we may
try but Together we Will Succeed"
If
you're looking for weight loss motivation beyond yourself then look
towards a community or towards a health coach to drive you towards your
goals. Telling yourself you want something is the first step, taking
action towards your goals is second, and finally connecting with like
minds should be third.
We are social beings, even if your shy, have low self-esteem, or don't
think you can do it. I have faith in you and
I Know You
Can Do It!
