Losing weight is difficult. Keeping it off is even more of a challenge. So how come some people manage to do so apparently effortlessly? What is their secret?
Have you ever set a weight loss goal and not achieved it? Most people have. In fact, it's quite common for people to get stuck in an endless cycle of setting weight loss goals and then quitting them shortly afterwards.
Why do people do this? One of the biggest reasons is a lack of commitment to their goal. Without commitment a goal will gradually shrink in importance, and the temptation to quit will seem much more attractive, especially when obstacles cause setbacks and delays.
If you've ever given up on a weight loss goal in the past, you may remember a heavy feeling of defeat creeping into your body and mind. Even though you wanted to succeed, circumstances just seemed too difficult or you experienced setbacks that caused uncertainty about your ability to do it.
Have you ever asked yourself what would have happened if you hadn't given up?
Many people fail to realize that if they just kept fighting for what they wanted and refused to give up no matter what, they eventually would have succeeded in losing the weight and keeping it off!
No matter the obstacles you face when in pursuit of your weight loss goals, the one thing that can keep you motivated is a rock-solid commitment to fight for what you want. That means refusing to give up or give in. It means never letting up on your efforts to stick to your diet, no matter how many setbacks you may experience. It means getting up and dusting yourself off when you fall - even if you fall a thousand times!
But how do you develop this unshakable determination? How do you stay focused on your weight through the challenges and setbacks? There is a secret way to stay motivated to succeed no matter what happens.
The secret of lasting motivation to reach your ultimate weight loss goal is simply to make a firm commitment. Every day. Several times a day. If you make that commitment just once, at the beginning of your weight loss program, your commitment will wane. This is the secret strategy that is rarely mentioned.
Making a weight reduction commitment the first time is easy. You're already feeling motivated and inspired to reach your weight loss goals.
Things might go smoothly for a few days, or even weeks, and then you hit a snag. It might be a frustrating setback, or a seemingly insurmountable obstacle. If you have renewed your commitment every day you will be able to overcome this obstacle.
If you simply keep committing to continuing toward your weight reduction goal regardless of the obstacles that get in the way, you can't be stopped. Think about that! It's actually very inspiring when you look at it from that perspective. The ONLY WAY you can be defeated is if you STOP TRYING!
Practically speaking, what does a daily commitment involve? The easiest way to keep your motivation to lose weight sky high is to listen to a motivating or weight loss hypnosis CD or MP3 (or even a selection of weight loss hypnosis CD's or MP3's) regularly. It doesn't take long, doesn't cost a fortune, is easy to order or download and can be listened to in your own time, where and whenever it suits you.
At the end of the day, no one can achieve your weight reduction goal for you. If you want to lose weight, you'll have to find the determination necessary to keep going. Use a weight loss hypnosis CD or MP3 to keep your commitment alive. The more committed and determined you are to making your weight loss goal happen, the more likely you'll do just that.
