Psychological motivation and weight loss |
|
|
Hi,
I’ve been spending some time on Weight Loss Forums reading some posts. It’s great to see people talking about their results and sharing personal experiences.
A very important fact in any diet is the physiological motivation. Along physical exercises, healthy eating and changing the way of living, the motivation it’s an important factor.
Motivation it’s unfairly omitted, motivation can change positively any diet results.
Here is an easy exercise that can help you achieving your goals:
Loose some weight by exercising one or two weeks. You can do it, go to the gym and follow the instructor advices. Eat healthy, drink lots of water, eliminate alcohol and get lots of rest. Anyone can loose some pounds fast. Go hard with yourself for a couple of days. You can do it.
This is where most diets finishes due to the lack of motivation to keep on
going. This was the hard part.
After loosing lets say 10 pounds there will be visible changes to your body but you will not see it.
Here is what I want you to do. Get yourself a new outfit, go to Victoria’s Secret and get your self the sexiest clothes you can find. Get a new hair cut, go to massage saloon and get the works, get some tanning ladies. Treat yourself royally. Change you looks as much as you can. Dress and feel sexy.
Go out and meet with some friends that had not seen you since you started the diet. Your new look will amaze them. The 10 pounds you lost and the changes you made will amaze them. Let them say “Girl you look fabulous, did you loose some weight?”, Shock them!!!
You will feel great, who wouldn’t? If three people tells you this you will have enough motivation to keep on going and loose more weight.
Do this from time to time and you will see great results.
Good luck. |

Don't think I'll be visiting Victoria Secrets any time soon. Or EVER! But a cute pair of shorts does the same thing for me.  |
