You might be able to think of a lot of reasons why you want to lose excess weight. The more valid reasons you have, the better. The stronger and the more they hit home, the better, and the more motivation you will have daily to stick to your plan.
You should write down 5 top reasons why you are doing this and read them out loud every single morning. This will help you to re-focus and find the motivation again with every new day. This will help to keep your eyes on the prize. Here are 4 top reasons that women find motivating enough to succeed in a new weight loss journey:
To please the spouse.
To appear more attractive in the eyes of the spouse.
To show family or friends that you can be able to stick to a weight loss plan and eventually lose the weight.
To make other people jealous while walking confidently in a bikini on the beach.
Can you see the pattern? Do you think that these are healthy and valid reasons why you should lose weight? Although there are some women who would really love to prove their abilities to some relatives or friends with losing weight, such reasons shouldn't be the main reason you focus on for motivation purposes.
You should focus your motivation on PLEASING YOURSELF!
If you decide to do something for others, that other person might disappear or not be there for you, or let you down in time. What will happen then? Will you then give up and binge and gain all the lost weight back, if not more? No! You should avoid this from happening at all costs. Avoid such disaster by setting the main reason of shedding off those extra pounds around YOU. Whatever you decide to do, it should be done for yourself because you will always have yourself. You are the only person who you will share all your life with, the ups and downs, the failures and successes, the challenges and achievements. If you set your main reason behind losing weight for someone else, you might realize in time that he or she is not worthy enough to change for.
Remember that you cannot really change the attitude you receive from others. You can only change yourself, which might trigger the change in others. Something else which is very important in ANY weight loss plan you choose to go on is the fact that you can't focus on what you CAN'T eat. On the contrary; focus on all the foods in the world that is available to you. There is the same amount of healthy recipes just like unhealthy recipes. The options are endless. It is up to each individual to decide smartly for his own health and future.
If your main reasons for losing weight include those listed above, throw away such reasons and write the real main reasons again and focus them on yourself. Whatever you achieve or fail is for your own sake and for no one else's.
