Motivation to Lose Weight: Have You Had Your Bite of Weight Loss Motivation Today? 3 Easy Tips on the MenuThe motivation to lose weight is FOOD for your brain, but you can't get enough in one sitting - you need continual top up's - get some tasty morsels here. No matter your reasons, your motivation to lose weight is the main key to quick weight loss, getting back in shape, toned and vibrant. A strong weight loss motivation allows you to easily carry out the new habits that will transform your body for good. In contrast, when you lack motivation, you experience a great resistance even with the simplest things; you continually self-sabotage (subconsciously) the healthiest behaviors you previously decided to adopt. In fact, you aren't able to keep up with your weight loss plan, no matter how clear and effective your plan is. As you can imagine, the recipe for peak weight loss motivation includes a fair amount of self motivation skills - we'll talk about these in a moment. But how do you keep up your motivation to lose weight - or get it in the first place when you need to get going with the daily actions of your weight loss plan? Now, here's how to boost your weight loss motivation with these 3 simple tips: Motivation to Lose Weight Tip #1: Set Realistic Goals"Every day do something that will inch you closer to the tomorrow that you want." ~ Doug Firebaugh Once you understand that to set yourself up for success you must choose practical, doable goals that you can actually achieve, you can easily attain goal after goal and continue to generate a strong motivation to lose weight. In contrast, when you pick unrealistic weight loss goals that you can’t possibly pull off, you just prove to yourself and to others that you have failed. Again. When this happens, your weight loss motivation plummets. That's not what you want, right? Besides, trying to be like some skinny movie celebrity and turn your body into a shape it physically cannot achieve, creates needless stress and pressure for you. Stress and pressure - along with previous failures - are the sure death of your weight loss motivation. It’s true, media dictates how you’re supposed to look like, but you are smarter than this... Settle for a weight that is optimal for you NOW, not 15 years ago! Forget about getting into your wedding or prom dress again if you gave birth to three kids since then. Forget about losing 30 pounds in 30 days. Forget about getting absolutely ripped by your next month's summer vacation if you’re over 40 and have never been into body-sculpting before. Let's face it. It's not gonna happen. Just ditch it. Instead, set realistic goals that you can easily achieve. Go ahead and hit these targets - this way, you'll immediately create a trail of small successes that will pull you ahead. When you imprint a habit of success on your mind, achieving the next goal keeps getting easier. For example... put together a weekly plan with small nutrition and fitness goals for each day and make them your daily routine. Aim to feel your clothes loosen up just a bit every day... to be only 2 pounds lighter each week. Now, that IS doable. Motivation to Lose Weight Tip #2: Set Up a Supportive Environment"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions." ~ Mark Twain If you're ready to get serious about reclaiming the body you want, surround yourself with a helpful support system - this will keep your weight loss motivation at its peak. Spend time with like-minded people, read inspiring weight loss books, listen to empowering coaches, watch motivational videos...

Motivation to Lose Weight Tip #3: Celebrate!"Celebrate your success, which is not holding good cards, but playing those you hold well." ~ Unknown As you have surely found out by know, working out and keeping fit requires a high level of weight loss motivation. Top it up regularly by celebrating your midway goals - but not with sweets or restaurant treats! Instead, pamper yourself with a whole day at the spa, go on a day trip with a friend, get a new haircut or try a new hair color. Get a cool tattoo, a new skirt, or a chic pair of shoes. Anything goes - as long as it's not food ;) Reinforce your new, healthy habits with smart rewards like these - now and then - to boost your motivation to lose weight and help you go the extra mile.
