Motivation and Weight Loss

So, How Can I Motivate Myself To Lose Weight? The greatest enemy for those trying to lose weight is to experience a lack of motivation. It’s the thing that always vaporises when you need it most. Motivation is the thing that’s there 99% of the time, and then suddenly, just when you need it, without warning it disappears, just like it never existed at all. In this Blog/Post we will share with you the importance around the role of motivation, and how to retain it in order to achieve the secret of successful weight loss.

What is Motivation?

So just what is Motivation? It’s the driving force behind accomplishing almost every task. It’s the reason people choose to do something, or not. Motivation can be external (a person sees something they want and has the motivation to go get it) or internal (someone wants to accomplish a task they’ve set for themselves and they let nothing get in their way). Regardless of what type of motivation, it needs to be present in order to make progress.

To ensure your level of Motivation is kept at the optimum level it helps to set yourself a few realistic, achievable goals, with a reward built in. Keep it real. I remember a client who wanted to lose 54 pounds, and she booked a short holiday with her friends in Ibiza, for later in the year, as her reward. She kept the booking confirmation and a bikini photo stuck to the fridge.

I am not going to be the ‘Fat’ girl on the Beach

She told me she focused her thoughts every night, remembering the last holiday she took with her friends. She remembered being slim and feeling so confident. Her friends were often commenting about all the attention she received from boys on the beach. She wanted that feeling back so much, that opening the fridge door to binge on one food item, or another, was just not an option. She Was Motivated…

Is it a Hormone?

There are two distinct schools of thought about Motivation. Some describe it like willpower as a “Depreciating Asset”. They believe that it is like a hormone, replenished in the brain only through sleep. So, you wake up in the morning and you have a strong level of motivation to do anything. Then, as the day progresses it depreciates. This would fit in with the fact that people trying to stop smoking or take drugs always cave in around 8.00pm, never 8am. Most people on a diet will report caving in during the evening, never first thing in the morning.

Is it a Muscle?

The second school of thought around motivation is that, once again, like willpower, it is like a muscle. The idea is that the more the ‘Motivation Muscle’ is flexed and used, the stronger it becomes. This also fits in with conversations with people trying to overcome an issue, the more they try the further they seem to get. The more they do it, the easier it is.

Motivation The Secret of Successful Weight Loss

Motivation is the driving force for change. If you don’t have enough of it, you will find it very hard, maybe even impossible, to lose weight. A lack of motivation is often the difference between success and failure. You may find that your food cravings are too strong, or that you’re not really sure of what you want to achieve. Finding the right motivation will help you get started and keep going until you reach your goal.

The Role of Motivation

As we have said, motivation is a key factor in weight loss. You need a plentiful supply. The unexpected phone call from friends, inviting you out for a pizza and bottle of wine, will always come at the worst moment possible, that’s guaranteed. It’s when you’re tired, cold, or feeling a little down, that you need motivation to pull you through. The temptation to eat, or maybe open a bottle of wine, will be relentless when you are on a diet.

How to use Motivation as a weapon against bad habits

The intensity and the frequency of motivation varies from person to person, but it can be elevated through specific techniques, such as committing to keeping a ‘Food Diary’. This helps people to see what they are eating, and how often they’re eating, without paying attention, and so makes them more aware of what they’re putting in their mouths. In addition, recording what you eat leads to better decision-making when choosing meals, because you’ll have a visual reminder of past failures or successes.

A true story

In one of the sessions in the My Weigh Less course, we tell the true story of a young girl who had been trying to lose weight for over 5 years, and failed miserably each time, her doctor and parents were worried about the effect on her future health. She needed to lose around 70 pounds. Her parents had paid for her to go to a boot Camp, and also to visit a private doctor in London. She had tried just about every diet available. Nothing worked.

She had tried everything

She had a talent, a truly amazing voice. Sadly she would only sing at home as she was embarrassed about anyone seeing her enormous body, but singing was her passion in life. Apparently her mother without her daughter knowing completed an application form for her to attend an audition for a top UK TV talent show.

The rest is history really, she was invited to attend a live TV audition five months later. She arrived at the London studio 44 pounds lighter, before the next round of auditions she had reached her target weight…What happened….Motivation I guess

Book a beach Holiday – Why not

You can’t change your habits overnight, but you have the power within yourself to find the reasons that are important and powerful enough to implement real change. Search deep in your mind. Take as much time as you need to understand just what makes life worth living in your world, then fight through those cravings!

A great strategy that has proven to help is being motivated by something or someone other than yourself— sometimes we need an extra push from our loved ones (or even pets) if they will listen.

Strategies for Building Motivation

Below is a selection of weight-loss tips that everyone can start using straight away. And, if you enroll in the My Weigh Less Course, you will learn many more of our helpful tips and techniques about how to achieve successful, permanent weight loss.

Tip No. 1 – Drink a Glass or Two of Water Before Your Meal!

Reduce Your Calorie Intake by over 20%, with almost with no effort! Research results, published by Harvard Medical showed that people who drank two large glasses of water, just before eating, consumed, on average, around 20% less food than previously. This is possibly as a result of the stretching and fullness sensation in the stomach.

Tip No. 2 – Eat Your Favourite Foods on the Plate First!

You may not be aware of how important this tip is, but the order in which you eat your food can actually have a big impact on how much you consume! It’s quite common for overweight people to “save the best til last” when eating. In other words they only eat their favourite food right at the end. It’s not so surprising then, that they also tend to eat everything on their plate, regardless of how uncomfortably full they feel. Because, of course, they don’t want to miss out on the “best bit”!

However, our advice is to eat your favourite things first. Not only will you enjoy it more, but it’s also much easier to stop when you’ve eaten just the right amount and leave the rest on the plate.

Tip No. 3 – Eat Slowly and Mindfully!

A growing number of studies have consistently found a correlation between speed of eating and weight, so it is officially accepted now that faster eaters are definitely more likely to become overweight. Studies have also shown that people are much more likely to eat more when their eating is mindless, as opposed to mindful. So, make meal times an occasion by sitting down at a table, with no distractions. Then eat slowly and savour every mouthful. You will naturally eat less food and also find it easier to lose weight as a result!
