Where to Find Weight Loss Motivation

Have you embarked on a weight loss journey lately? If so, you may have noticed that motivation is hard to find. Not only is it difficult to motivate yourself to exercise and eat healthy, it's also incredibly difficult to find weight loss motivation when the pounds are not melting away.
While most people would love to see drastic results within two days of starting a new exercise and diet routine, this simply isn't realistic. Healthy weight loss takes awhile to achieve, which is why finding motivation is essential. If you have lost your motivation and inspiration, here are some ways that you can feel inspired once again.
First, you have to learn to love yourself. This may be the hardest thing to do of all, since most people don't like the way that they look. However, if you can learn to accept your body and yourself as you are right now, then you will find this kind of acceptance entirely motivational. You don't have to look like a movie star or model in order to find the ideal you!

Then, learn to love the positive things about yourself. It may be really easy to find things that you don't like about yourself, but when was the last time that you made a list of things that you do like about yourself? Try and focus on those positive things regularly instead of the negative things - everyone is excellent at something!
Next, set and obtain realistic goals. If you tell yourself that you need to lose ten pounds in three days, then you are setting yourself up for disappointment. Instead, focus on long term goals that make sense. Gradual weight loss is the only kind of weight loss that is guaranteed to last. When you reach a goal, make sure to reward yourself - you deserve it!
Finally, surround yourself with motivation. Whether you choose to adhered custom magnets to your fridge or whether you make a pact to only hang out with positive people, surrounding yourself with motivation is the best way to ensure that you'll keep that motivation. If you find a particular product or message motivating, go ahead and place that product where you can see it or post that message on your bathroom mirror.
You can motivate yourself to exercise, eat well, and lose the weight that you want to with the motivational tools mentioned above. Keep in mind that motivation is more than half of the weight loss fight. If you think that you are losing your motivation, try one of the weight loss motivation tips mentioned in this article. You'll soon find that you are back on track in no time!

Top 10 Secrets to Nip Nibbling

1. Observe: Have you ever seen another Mom eat off her children's plates? When we're able to look at something objectively we often see how we must look when we do the same thing. If you don't like how it looks, don't do it yourself. 2. Visualize: Imagine everything you've snacked on throughout the day...a few handfuls of chips while you're watching TV, a few tastes of the meal you're preparing for dinner, some cookies that were on the counter. Now imagine putting it all on a plate. How does the plate look? Visualize this plate in addition to the meals you've eaten throughout the day. 3. Distract: Often just getting involved in another activity is enough to stop you from "mindless munching". Try cleaning out a drawer, taking the dog for a walk, writing in a journal or any other activity that distracts you from nibbling and gives you pleasure.

Want Power Before Will Power

The problem isn't that you don't have enough will power to achieve what you want. You have will power, but it's not will power you need, it's want power.  You have to first want  You must want to change your habits, want to lose some weight, want to give up your evening snacking before your will comes into play. Once you want a thing badly enough, you will do whatever it takes. If you think you want something (to make a change in your eating habits perhaps), but then find it difficult to follow-through with your plans, most likely you simply want your current reality (your current habits and patterns) more than you want your goals (less weight, better health, etc.) I can hear you all the way over here, telling me I'm wrong: "No, that's not right! I want this more than anything, I just don't have any willpower!" Round and round you go, but the truth is, you will get what you really want. Think back, has there ever been a time when you rea...
