Weight Loss Motivation
I am often asked what I used to keep my daily weight loss motivation. After losing over 140 pounds and now keeping it off since 2005, I learned a lot about weight loss motivation.
Here are some weight loss motivation tips I used to lose my weight.
Start by remembering why you started your exercise and weight loss plan. For me, it was to decrease my health risks of obesity including GERD and Gastritis and chronic knee pain. Losing weight can be the difference between living a healthy life and being on medication for conditions that are a result of obesity, like diabetes and heart disease.
Move More.
Another weight loss motivation tip I used was to move more. Exercise is great for relieving stress. You don’t have to go to the gym, though. You can do stuff around the house like work in the garden. Housework is a great stress reliever and helps you burn those calories.
Celebrate Successes!
At 280 pounds I found a lot of things wrong with me and very little right! I hardly celebrated any personal successes. This changed quickly as I began my healthy eating plan. Regardless of what I did, whenever I stayed true to my healthy eating plan, I celebrated by privately congratulating myself in my journal.
It took me 13 months to reach my initial weight loss goal of 120 pounds but I kept my daily weight loss motivation by using these tips. If I can do it, you can too!
Take Care,
Georgene
