If you've ever struggled with weight loss before, you know that one of the most difficult aspects of successfully losing weight is maintaining the motivation to stick with your diet plans. If you want to succeed, the trick is to find an effective motivator in your life and surrounding yourself with it. Here's how to do it:
Dig to the root of why you want to lose weight. Does it have to do with your appearance? Is it your health you're concerned about? Go deeper than just the surface reasons and figure out what would really motivate you to lose weight. Now think about the biggest obstacle in your life to weight loss. Now it's time to figure out how to target your motivator and surround yourself with it.
Some people paste up a photo of a beautiful celebrity on their refrigerator to remind them of why they don't want to overeat. Some people tie a small piece of yarn to their pinky as a vow to themselves and promise not to remove it until they reach their goal. If your health is the main reason you want to lose weight, think about keeping your cholesterol levels or body fat percentage in sight. Other people find support in the form of a friend, family member, or online buddy, community, or network. Whatever will motivate you to stick to your plan needs to be a constant presence in your life every day. There will always be times when sticking to what you set out to do becomes extremely difficult. The constant presence of a small reminder can be the difference between giving in and pushing through during these moments.
