You may not be exactly in the place you believed you were going to be…but you will have progressed further than doing absolutely nothing but worrying about starting.
It’s times like these that you should congratulate yourself.
…and Personal Motivation is the key to this success…
If you don’t have a technique to keep motivated to lose weight then chances are you won’t reach your goals of, for example, having a flatter belly in 90 days or fitting into a special outfit for say, a wedding.
I know sometimes it sounds like everyone tells you “You need to have a plan…you must have this”…but it really isn’t that difficult to create one.
Just say to yourself: I will lose that fat in 12 weeks…or whatever time period you wish…but make it realistic!
If you do have a plan AND the extra motivation to lose weight then you will get results. Simple as that. It WILL happen.
I find good motivation in a technique I decided to try: It’s called the Just The Next Step method…and it is as straightforward as it sounds.
Here it is:
- Write down what you aim to do for the task at hand – for example, to workout, this would be get changed, review what you are going to do, warm-up, exercise, warm-down, shower, write down what you did in you exercise log
- Start with the first step and only focus on going to the next one.
What happens is that you end up getting more done in less time because you only think about the next thing to do. And in general, it keeps you from over thinking.
Remember though: you still have to have a basic structure of steps to take the first few times you attempt this otherwise you will get distracted…
…and this means, especially for a fitness and weight loss program:
THE FAT ISN”T GOING TO SHIFT
So try this as motivation to lose weight if you find you don’t have the time in the day…it has the added benefit of making time magically appear from nowhere.
