Losing weight is difficult, no doubt about that. Whether you have 5 vanity pounds to lose, or 150 pounds to lose for medical reasons, motivation can play a huge factor in your success. If you aren’t driven to do something, chances are, you won’t do it!
1. Look at Yourself
This isn’t meant to be a negative element in your motivation. Many people, when they're trying to lose weight, try to avoid the mirror.
2. Chart Your Progress
Another motivator aside from watching your body change can be watching your numbers change.
3. Set Attainable Goals
Accomplishing a goal releases neurochemicals similar to those that are released when gamblers win a big jackpot. Knowing this you can set yourself up on a cycle of motivation that'll let you achieve any goal.
4. Know You Aren’t Perfect
Nothing makes you want to quit more than feeling like a failure. Therefore, the way to avoid this feeling of utter defeat is to come to an understanding with yourself, that you're not perfect.
5. Check In With Your Emotions
The last element of staying motivated is to check in with your emotional health. Sometimes you can’t do this alone.
You now have 5 amazing tools to help you stay motivated while you make your way through your weight loss journey. Use them and see which ones work better for you.
