A large part of a good weight loss system should be dedicated to motivation. Motivation leads to greater dieting success.
After working all day, playing taxi cab driver for the kids, after school games or meetings with the teachers, where to you get the motivation to continue with a diet or to exercise?
Five ideas to help keep you motivated in your quest to lose weight.
1. Reward yourself but not with food. Do you like to read or have some other hobby? When you begin to think for every 5 pounds you drop, you will reward yourself with a gift, something you like other than food, it becomes something to look forward to.
2. Record your progress.
Keep track of your progress...use a spread sheet or diet and exercise journal. Write your achievements in a simple old notebook. Just write it down. You are more likely to stick to your diet plan if you can see where you came from and read about all the hard work you have done. If you walked 3 miles yesterday and walked off 300 calories, you would be less likely to indulge in a 300 calorie Suzy-Q. Remember it took 40 minutes to lose those calories and it will only take you a few minutes to down the Suzy Q. Keep track of what you have done.
3. Don't let other people stop you. They may be friends but this "one time won't hurt you" is not what you need to hear while trying to loss weight. Don't be anti-social, enjoy your friends but try to plan non-eating events with them. And stay away from the break room or bring a healthy snack to work so you can still enjoy your break and work buddies but remain on your diet.
4. Think positive and focus. Remind yourself of why you started this weight loss journey.
5. You've come a long way baby...remember that and why you started the way to healthier living.
Healthier living will help you:
better, a diet system that provides all the tools you need to be a slimmer healthier you.
