How do you find the motivation to lose weight?

The most common reason people fail or never start a diet is a lack of long-term motivation. Now, losing weight and gaining better health and self-esteem should be more than enough motivation you might think. Well, it’s not that simple! The most common mistake that people make when embarking on a weight loss diet program is that they think short term, that is, they plan for a certain number of weeks or months and do it more as a project than as a change of direction. Lifestyle. . They get immersed in a bunch of diets and meal plans and eventually drown in their own plans.

What happens after a while is that the plan starts to fall apart and the person starts to lose interest in the project, and that’s where things start to go wrong. Some weight will come back, and the person might think that they are failing or that the diet is not working, which causes the motivation and the diet plan itself to deteriorate even more. In the meantime, the person’s self-esteem will begin to drop and this will also contribute to the bad, killer factor of motivation.

Now you have a person who has failed! And the worst thing people know is failure! It’s a serious blow and will eventually prevent us from giving a diet another try, simply for fear of failing. This fear of failure is also the reason some people don’t even start a diet. If you don’t start you can’t fail, simple strategy.

Now what can you do to avoid these pitfalls?

What you want to do is not see a diet as a plan or a project, but rather as a life-changing event. Alter your habit and who you are to some extent. You want to make the changes that a diet brings to a way of life. You cannot fail in life, and by doing so you will not have embarked on any project that could fail. You should also take the time you need to integrate the new habits into your new way of life, don’t change everything in one day, take one thing at a time. If you master one thing at a time, you’ll be rewarded with more motivation to keep going and might even lower that self-esteem of yours by taking a few grades.

When I changed my life 10 years ago, I didn’t start with a particular plan or project. I had already been there, done that and failed. What I did was simple. I made small changes each week and gradually changed my daily habits. Habits such as avoiding fatty foods, Habits of running 1 hour twice a week, Habits of eating at least 2 fruits a day. All these little drops of change finally paid off and I began to lose pounds, gain more motivation and self-confidence. Now I spend most of my time writing on the web and on my site and hopefully guiding people through the difficult process of changing their lives and losing weight in a healthy way, and I know one thing! If I can do it, then you can too.

I wish you the best of luck.
