I've been there. For years I struggled with "trying to lose weight" and lack of motivation.
I knew I had to lose weight. I wanted to lose weight, but after a long day of work just wanted to relax on the couch and order some take food.
Exercise or even a healthy food was so difficult to do. I then I feel guilty and ashamed of myself for lacking any motivation or desire.
I struggled with how to motivate yourself to lose weight until I found some simple ways I got off the couch, which left me eating the wrong foods and to do "simple things" that it was necessary to lose weight and keep returning.
1. I have clearly identified "why" I wanted to lose weight first.
So to follow my foot steps ask "Why I want to lose weight?" Then write the reasons "why" you want to lose weight on a piece of paper or even better on a daily basis. Wow ... so now. and make the first day of your weight loss process begins absolutely.
1. Be very specific about his reasons.
2. Talk to the "present time", as this is already happening.
The more specific you are, the more real will for you. Tell your reasons for your current life and not in the distant future. NOW that you want and exactly why they want?
You should be able to imagine their reasons "Why?" visually.
For example:
I lose weight so you can have a face, clear skin, thin glowing.
Versus: I want to lose weight so you can look your best.
My husband or boyfriend or my opinion of the crush and compliment me on how good I look.
Versus: I want people to notice and pay attention to me.
I have more confidence when I talk to my boss at work and I can see how the great work I do is appreciated.
Versus: I can be more sure of myself
See what's happening here? ... The more specific you are getting a "Why?" you want to lose weight as well as your reasons relate to your current life, the more you get motivated to lose weight and really do happen now.
2. Surround yourself with the right people that keep you motivated to lose weight.
Being close to good people all the time is fundamental to achieve and maintain weight loss motivation.
You know there is a saying that goes like this .... "Tell me who your five closest friends are and I'll tell you who you are"
Who you spend time with and surround yourself makes a big difference in what you are doing and habits that form.
Just hang sufficiently thin people and you see the difference POSITIVE yourself.
If your five best friends are slim and fit and slim people you surround yourself with, then there are only two things that can happen.
1. habits are developed to gain weight or 2. You are influenced lose weight and be more "like them".
You do unconsciously things you need to lose weight in just surround yourself with the right people.
Be all positive, reinforcing people. People who support and assure you again. Stay away from negative people, even if they are your best friends and family!
Negativity can throw. But the positive vibes positive people will stand up and stay on track and motivated to continue to lose weight and stay healthy.
Start today by partnering with the right people online. His friends from Facebook, YouTube friends and even support groups for weight loss and online communities will help you with how to motivate yourself to lose weight and stay motivated.
3. Assemble your 2 "What If? ...." Leave now.
What if I do ...? And if I do ...? In the What if I do ...? record sheet on top ...
"These are big changes will happen to me 1) tomorrow, 2) within two months, and 3) in 1-2 years."
Then write each good change can not imagine what will happen in the immediate, short-term and long-term tight deadlines .... if you start to take action now to lose weight.
For example:
In the What if I do ...? sheet could be written things like ....
- Tomorrow, feel good to have begun to take steps to lose weight. I'll stop feeling guilty. Instead I am more power since I'm on the right track.
- Tomorrow I'll just wake up to feel better and have more energy and I eat well tonight.
- In two months from now, I will have lost XXX (insert your specific objectives) pounds or kilos.
- Two months from today, my boyfriend / husband told me how I am losing weight and looking great!
- In a year, I'll go shopping for new clothes that fit perfectly with my hourglass figure.
- In a year, I'll tell you about my own loss success weight and inspire many others to follow my foot steps.
- In a year I'll have a lot more energy to play with my kids, spend more quality time with my husband and do much more fun activities.
Now in its second page, write down all the things you can imagine what will happen if we do not take action now to lose weight ...
At the end of each sentence also write ..... I will not let that happen.
For example:
In the What if I do ...? sheet could be written things like ....
- Tomorrow I will again feel guilty for not doing anything to start losing weight. I will not feel good to know I'm not on the right track. I will not let that happen.
- Tomorrow I'll wake up feeling tired and lethargic again! I'm having trouble getting out of bed and I feel low energy. I will not let that happen.
- Two months from now, I will be the same. Worse, he could gain more weight. I am afraid to stand on the scale and ashamed of myself. I will not let that happen.
- Two months from now my husband yet to see a change in me and I am the same weight and the same body. I feel I'm going to drop and again. I will not let that happen.
- In a year I'll still wear clothes "try" to hide my weight and appear slimmer. I am self conscious out of new public and meet people, because of my weight. I will not let that happen.
- In a time of year my boyfriend will not find me physically attractive and you may want to leave me. You may have difficulty finding "significant other" who think I'm attractive and wants to be with me. I will not let that happen.
Now that you have everything you can imagine writing you a vivid and clear picture to get motivated to lose weight. Be aware of your two lists "What if ...". Read your lists 3 times a week.
See what happens? Yes, you've found the motivation to lose weight now as you read their lists.
Keep doing this and you will find yourself in the action. And habits are changing rapidly. Then you start to see results.
Once you see the results, reinforce their actions and that in turn encourages more action. And it is a powerful positive cycle to be.
