Weight Loss Encouragement - 6 Tips That Will Keep You Motivated

Weight loss encouragement is often needed while traveling the road to a healthier and more attractive body. It’s so easy to become discouraged and to give up just before a great victory.

Below are 6 of my favorite encouragements to help keep on the weight loss track.

Encouragement Number 1

Don’t get in a hurry. Healthy and lasting weight loss takes time. Keep in mind that for each day you exercise and eat properly, you have made progress. You may not be able to see it immediately, but you will clearly see the results as time goes on.

Encouragement Number 2

Don’t give up to quickly. The weight loss process does get better as you go! If you have been overweight and inactive for a long time, everything you do may seem difficult. Be encouraged, it won’t be long before you will even look forward to exercise.

Encouragement Number 3

Try this. After you have lost your first (or next) 10 pounds, buy a 10-pound container of shortening. Carry that fat around for a whole day and see how happy you get that you don’t have to carry it around on your body any more.

Encouragement Number 4

If your exercise routine seems difficult, be glad. The whole idea behind exercise is that you push your body to do a little more than it's comfortable with and your body responds by making you more physically fit. And as you become stronger, the exercises will become easier and more pleasurable. Be encouraged, it will get better!

Encouragement Number 5

Daily record the positive changes in the way you feel and move. After a month or so of eating and exercising right, you can look back at the way you were at the beginning, and be encouraged by how much you have improved.

Encouragement Number 6

Take a look at this list of benefits you will receive from exercising regularly:

<> You will sleep better

<> You will have more energy

<> You are less likely to develop all kinds of diseases

<>Your life will seem better, thus you will be in a better mood

<>Your skin will look better

<>You won’t get sick near as often as before

<>You have less fat (how nice!)

<>Your muscles will be more toned

<>You will look and feel better

<>You will be healthier

Okay...I will even throw in another built-in weight loss encouragement as a bonus. Your progress, in itself, will encourage you to keep going. So stick in there and never, never, never give up! You will reach your weight loss goals.

I hope you enjoyed these weight loss encouragement tips.
