Hopefully you have had a chance to read "Part 1" of this series this month. If not, take a moment and go back and read "Weight Loss Tips (Part 1)". So here is part 2 of the series from Carrie Covington.
Tell me if you can relate…
How many times have you had "THE TIME" you're motivated,
encouraged, you have a great plan and then you get into your life and just
can’t make it work or just don’t know what to do? Sure, you have a great plan -
set small goals, eat this, do that, blah, blah, blah…but when the reality hits
that you have to do it AND follow it, you just don’t.
Tip #2: You must want it and you must know exactly
what you want. If you are perfectly content, stop complaining and be thankful.
But, if you are in a place that you so desperately do not want to be, you will
do whatever it takes to not be there. Having a powerful reason to lose the
weight is crucial. I have found that wanting to be a size "X" is not always enough
to keep you motivated. However, wanting to feel confident, being included in
the family pictures, or being able to have energy to play with your kids is enough.
Some questions to ask yourself would be…
- What are you missing out on because of
your weight?
- What would your life look like if you were "X" pounds lighter?
- What
activities would you be doing that you are not doing now?
- What is it that you
want that you don’t have?
- If you don’t lose the weight what will happen?
Once
you have your reason, create your statement. Use verbs such as I will, I can,
and I am. By changing the way you think you will take more positive actions. Forget
the past, it will only hold you back, keep your eyes forward pressing towards
your goal.
Stay tuned for "Part 3" of this series. In the meantime, if you need assistance getting started, call or stop by PROMATx Health Club and make an appointment with Carrie or our nutrition specialist so that we can help you lose the weight and be more confident. Don't wait...we are here to help!
