Weight Loss Motivation : Where Does it Go?
I expect you feel that your weight loss motivation already exists by the bucket load.
You've been trying to lose weight for ages, right?
You want to be successful in your weight loss so much and yet you know that you struggle sometimes. You feel at times that your willpower just fails you and you don't know why you can break your diet so easily when you want more than anything to be healthy and slim.
We've all been there! Why is it so hard and what can you do about it?
Here we explore
- what makes you eat that chocolate cake , when you'd rather not for the sake of your diet
- what stops you from going to your exercise class, when you know how much you would benefit from it
- what you can do to help your motivation to stick to your diet and exercise routine
So why do weight loss programs promise so much and succeed so rarely?
Weight loss programs fail because you want to eat more/move less than you want to lose weight.
It sounds simple and yet when we look at what drives you to eat and what stops you from moving the picture becomes complex and involved.
There's no one simple answer fits all. There are many reasons why food passes our lips and why we don't get off our sofas and "Just Do It" as the adverts implore us.
In What makes you break your diet we explore the many types of hunger and how to deal with each one, so that you can stick to your diet - weight loss motivation without the gritted teeth determination, which seems to be accepted by dieters as a necessary evil.
Our What stops you from exercising section looks at ways to motivate yourself to keep up with your exercise program, so you just do it, no matter what and achieve a double hit of losing weight and feeling wonderfully fit and healthy at the same time.
