HOW TO STAY MOTIVATED TO LOSE WEIGHT

Every positive change start from motivation. When you will be motivated you will start your journey. Here we're going to talk about motivation to lose weight. How do you get motivated? How do you stay motivated when you're trying to lose weight?

It's a great question and it's one I'm 

excited to dive into so here's the thing we have to remember that motivation it's a feeling right and no feeling just magically happens to our feelings. Don't just drop out of the sky. All of the feelings that we experience are generated by what we think. Our thoughts create our feelings so if you are trying to generate the feeling of motivation you first have to start by investigating. What are you thinking?        So when do you want to lose weight? When you're trying to do something different right? whenever we need to take on any type of change?

We have to create some type of plan for 

ourself, some type of intention, somewhere to direct our attention in a way. It is different from what we've been doing in the past and for a lot of people creating a plan. It can be really motivating at the beginning and the reason that plan is motivating is that we're believing in it and we're excited about it and we believe it's going to help us get our results. So we feel motivated and most people can generate motivation for a couple of days but what starts to happen is that after two three-four days when we're not seeing the results that we want to see side note weight loss doesn't work that way weight loss takes time it's not fast and it's not linear right but a lot of times when we set a weight loss goal and we don't start to see a change right away we start to lose motivation. The reason that we're losing motivation is that we're no longer excited about and or believing in the plan that we've set up

for ourselves. Sometimes it's just enough when that plan starts to get really hard that we're like forget this right this doesn't work anyway and that absolutely creates the opposite effect of motivation. 

Remember 

that motivation is a feeling and the way we are thinking is either going to motivate us or unmotivate us. Motivation and weight loss are nothing that really creates motivation and momentum-like results right. Once you really start to see the results of the work that you've put in you start to get motivated and the reason you start to get really motivated is that you're believing really hard in what you're doing right because you're like this is working. And this is so exciting I'm going to keep doing this... maybe I'll tweak it like this...maybe I'll tweak it like that right those thoughts that excitement and that belief in yourself builds more motivation.

That motivation is 

rooted with more energy and excitement more momentum builds. So what we have to remember for ourselves is that at the beginning it's very normal for anything new, anything different that we're doing to feel uncomfortable, to feel challenging because you have to remember your brain, our brains love easy and efficient. They don't want to use a lot of energy. They love doing what they did yesterday and so whenever we're creating a new habit. It requires more energy and more attention, more awareness, more consciousness on our part and that is uncomfortable it's harder than not doing. Why it's important that if you really want to build motivation to create some type of game plan for yourself, some type of intention, and then making a commitment to work towards that goal. It's very unlikely that we're going to make a lot of progress because again it's hard to maintain that motivation.

The way you're thinking or by just creating a plan committing and then getting motivated by your results those are your two pathways to creating more motivation for yourself
