A great motivational tool for me in losing weight has always been taking “before” pictures and tracking my progress every 6 weeks or so. When I see visible differences when comparing before and after, it motivates me to keep going and lose more weight. This comes in handy at times when I just don’t feel like exercising, but I know I have to and I’ll feel ten times better afterward.
I also find that using a journal to write down how I feel is helpful when I feel unmotivated or lacking in self-esteem. This really helps me clear things up if I don’t have anyone to talk to at the moment. Sometimes I don’t feel like sharing with others and I just need to get it off my chest for a journal to work wonderfully.
Also, as stated at the beginning, we simply lose motivation when we don’t have a plan. Write down your reasons for wanting to lose weight and how you are going to approach it. You may need to document your food and exercise intake for a few days until it starts to become a routine at first. Change or a huge change can be difficult to accomplish. You may find that changing one thing at a time is much more beneficial and you will stick with it as well. Don’t be too rushed because small changes can give you dramatic results, and small changes can make the journey to a healthy lifestyle that much more enjoyable and less likely to resist.
So stay motivated – take photos, keep a journal, and plan your path to weight loss success.
