Weight Loss: How to Stay Motivated

Weight Loss and Motivation

Motivation is a factor often overlooked when it comes to weight loss endeavors because you feel strong and determined when first embarking on a weight loss plan. You’re positive you’ll never lose sight of your goals. But, what happens when you lose your focus and motivation takes a serious dive? Can you ever regain your fierce determination and get back on track?
YES YOU CAN!

Do you need weight loss motivation?
ARE YOU READY?
Are you ready to stop fighting against your own success? Are you ready to break free of your limitations? Think for a moment about your desire to lose fat and get it. Know that if you would attempt it, you would without a doubt, achieve your goal. Think carefully about it. Now, reach out and touch that highest vision.
The day you begin your weight loss plan you have just started to make your goal a reality. You’ve set your mind on the best you can imagine for yourself, and you’re on your way. You’ll most certainly get there. There will be effort involved in reaching it. But that’s okay, because you can do it. In fact, you’ll enjoy making that effort because you’ll know where it’s leading.

Have you ever seen someone who seems to be able to attract success easily and naturally? You’ve just become that person. The goal you desire will come to you, easily and naturally, because you’ve focused yourself on achieving it.

The efforts involved may be things you once considered difficult or uncomfortable, yet now they won’t bother you because you’ll know precisely where they’re taking you. You’re on your way. Keep going, and delight in the wonderful rewards you’ve already started to create for yourself, including feeling better and living longer!
For many people, change is more threatening than challenging. They see it as the destroyer of what is familiar and comfortable rather than the creator of what is new and exciting.



Anyone can achieve weight loss. The trick is to LOSE FAT and keep it off!
People who stay slim have usually experienced an attitude shift. It’s as if a switch flips in their head. They come to a point in life, for one reason or another, where it becomes clear that the benefits of keeping the fat off exceed the costs. “Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels.”

How To Get and Stay Motivated To Exercise & Eat Healthy

How is it that in the past 3 years I’ve never taken more than 5 days off (due to injury) from being active?
3 years ago I remember waking up in South Korea at 2 pm with the worst hangover, an empty box of fried chicken to the right of my head, and almost nothing left in the Nutella jar to my left. This was a typical Sunday.
I felt disgusting, weak, and was sick and tired of being sick and tired. Then I realized that I had a choice. Did I want to continue feeling and acting like this? Only I had all the power to control the way I felt and looked. Ah ha! It dawned on me. The act of exercising and eating healthy was actually self respect, self love. I was clearly choosing to not respect and love myself!

After this realization did exercising become easy? F*uck no. The hardest part about it was my mind. I had to make a commitment to myself that I’d stop listening to the voice inside my head that always had so many excuses why to not workout or choose healthier options. I made a commitment to say YES when my mind said no.

I knew that it wouldn’t be easy, but I had to commit to myself FOR myself.
I tried to make it so easy for that it was hard to fail. I no longer bought Nutella and fried chicken. I no longer turned to partying as a release of stress. I looked for a gym to join. I told myself that I only needed to do 15 minutes of activity a day. I made a commitment to transform myself inside and out.
Slowly, I committed more and more to myself. It’s become less about the physical and more about the mental and emotional. The process is easier if you look at it as self respect and recognize that your mind will try holding you back. The challenge is making the choice that will lead to bettering yourself.
I encourage and challenge you to commit to loving yourself. Side affects include: happiness, self love, self control, and bountiful health.
