So you want to lose weight. Why? And don’t tell me because you’re 20..40…80…150lbs overweight. So what? Why does that matter. There are plenty of people out in the world who need to lose weight that obviously don’t think it does matter. Why does it matter to you.? I also don’t want to hear you say that someone else told you that you needed to. If you personally don’t care about it you’ll never lose the weight.
Let’s head to your vision of the future. You’ve lost all of the weight that you wanted to. How would you feel differently? What are able to do differently? What would it mean to you? These are the things that you need to get to. It’s a little like Shrek. Ogres have layers, like an onion (or parfait). You have to peel back those layers to get to the heart of it all. The things that evoke emotion from you are your motivators. These are the things (feelings) that you need to keep in mind to help you stick to your weight loss program. Write these down! People who write down their goals are more likely to reach them than those who don’t. You can add to them as you think of more, but get something down now! Frankly, any time you find yourself faltering in your conviction, you should write them again.
Best wishes, Mark
