Staying Motivated
Staying Motivated If you're currently in the process of trying to lose weight you're more than likely having a difficult time. If you are, don't fret because you're not alone. Just ask anybody that is trying to lose weight or have lost weight in the past and they will probably tell you what you have discovered for yourself; it's hard! Achieving success in your weight loss attempt will be dependant on your ability to stay motivated. Ironically, motivation is not only the most important factor in weight loss, it's also the most difficult. The key is to identify what it is that motivates you in the first place. Knowing what motivates you and surrounding yourself with it will help you stick to your plan and reach your goals of weight loss. Whatever you do, stay away from these bogus testimonials where someone took a pill once a day and shed 50 lbs in a month. Although these testimonials may be true, or exaggerated at best, these results may happen to a rare few and even then exercise and a careful diet were probably factors. Why stay away from these? Beacause you will more than likely not be this successful and this will ultimately damper your motivation; not what we want. To stay motivated, read about the real weight loss stories where somebody lost a couple pounds a week over a long period of time to reach their target weight. Read about how somebody used a rigorous exercise routine and strict eating habits to achieve their weight loss goal. Read the ones where they struggled and at times even cried but still managed to finish on top because they stuck to their plan. Success stories are much more motivational when they involve are real people getting real results without the use of miracle drugs. These will motivate you because it can help you realize that everybody struggles just as you have and it is very much possible to shed the weight you hate. Something else to avoid when trying to lose weight is overwhelming yourself with an impossible schedule that nobody can keep up with. Start small. Baby steps. Exercise a couple times a week. Allow yourself a snack every now and then. Then get tougher and tougher on your schedule. And don't get discourage if you fail to stick to your routine; just get back up on that horse and lose that weight!
