Weight Loss Tip - Small Changes Work Better Than Big Ones

Here's a very simple yet effective weight loss tip that you can use to lose weight for the long term and really change your habits. The tip is really quite simple, but your success with it will depend on how well you stick with it. So here's the tip: Make small changes every week rather than big changes all at once!

A Revolutionary New Weight Loss Tip?

You may have heard this idea before, but have you ever acted on it? I think that it should make at least some of you think about it for a minute. And I hope that this approach can help you to reach more lasting and permanent weight loss.

Have you ever said to yourself, "That's it!!! I'm never going to eat that junk food ever again! I'm going to make changes THIS MINUTE and never go back to the way that I used to eat! I'm sick of looking like this!" Does this sound like you at one point or another?

If this does sound like you, did you find yourself back to your old habits within a short period of time, say a week or two? How many times have you gone through this cycle? Disappointing isn't it, but this is a common story out there if you get talking to people.

I want you to look at weight loss motivation (and weight loss in general) in a completely new way. Don't make huge and overly drastic changes that are doomed to failure. Instead you should make small changes that cumulatively lead to a bigger change, and one that will be more lasting. This may sound to you like a revolutionary weight loss tip, but I hope that it just makes sense to you!

It's All About Maintaining Weight Loss Motivation!

Motivation is a huge key factor if you're really going to lose weight. But when you try to make too many changes too quickly your mind subconsciously says to you, "Yeah right buddy! Why should this attempt be any different that all the other attempts you've made to lose weight?"

You'll find that you have much better luck when you sneak up on that negative little voice and play a little trick on it. Willpower alone is never enough to overcome this inner voice. You have to trick it by making small changes.

That's the main point behind this weight loss tip, and in my mind the key to real long term weight loss motivation that will keep you moving forward long term.

Here are some examples of small changes you can make: instead of deciding that you're going to immediately start going to the gym every single day, try going twice a week. Do that for a week or two, then up it to 3 times a week. Maybe it means not eating your normal snack on one day. Then up it to 2, then 3, etc. You see, as you make changes like that you will be more motivated to lose weight because you are making small successes each week.

If you keep this up, you're bound to make the big changes - but over time rather than drastically all at once. You motivation to lose weight will be a lot higher than it ever was before. Give it a try!
