In the last Blog post I talked about New Year’s resolutions. Is losing weight one of your New Year’s resolutions? Have you have gotten off track with your commitment to your New Year’s resolution? Do you feel like you have no motivation to lose weight?

Most of us know what steps we could take to lose weight. We know that we should exercise more; eating healthier food would be a good idea; smaller food portions would help; as would drinking more water. If you lack motivation to lose weight think about why you decided that you wanted to lose weight in the first place. Did you just mutter that your doctor told you that it would be a good idea? Whoa! Let’s find a reason that is a little more exciting for you. Think of the benefits of that you will experience with a more slender body. What activities will you do when you are more slender? What clothes will you wear? How will you feel when you look at yourself in the mirror? This feels more inspiring doesn’t it?

Now, come up with a plan that you are going to use to lose weight. These are your guidelines. The purpose of guidelines is to help you progress toward your weight loss goal in a conscious and deliberate manner. If you are feeling overwhelmed by the amount of weight that you have to lose or all of the lifestyle changes that you have to make to lose the weight, break down your steps into smaller tasks. Focus on what you can do today.

Make sure that you have sufficient support for yourself as you lose weight. If you live with anyone, let others know how they can help you. Have someone that you can check in with regularly so that you are accountable to them. Finally, clear the mental and emotional limiting beliefs that keep you from being successful in your weight loss journey. Many people have successfully lost weight using the techniques that I offer in my online weight loss video
