Motivation to lose weight and exercise 1.
Commit to one thing and do it well.
A big problem for many who find it hard to get motivated is that they look at the job ahead and feel overwhelmed.
You do not have to do everything perfect right from the start.
Choose one healthy task such as keeping a daily food journal or walking the dog every day and do it well.
By the end of the week you will build a sense of getting back in control and you will be ready and willing to add more tasks.
2.
Find a mentor.
Identify someone in your life or someone that you do not know personally but have heard who has lost weight and use this person as your role model.
It seems too simple but you will find that this helps you move through challenges because you can say to yourself, "If he/she was able to do it, then I can to.
" 3.
Focus on what you are getting from this deal.
You are giving up sitting on the couch or eating sweets in the middle of the day but you are getting a thin healthy body that moves with ease and fights off disease.
Train your focus on the positive and you will stay motivated.
4.
Cancel limiting thoughts.
There is not a person alive who has lost weight without having negative or limiting thoughts pop in their head.
You will hear yourself say, "I don't know if I can do this.
" or "This is no fun.
" But you must cancel those thoughts and shift to thoughts of all the great things you are getting.
Simply say CANCEL in your head when you hear the negative voice and you will feel your motivation to lose weight and exercise grow by the day.
