How easy is it to say, "I want to lose weight." How hard is it to actually do it? In my lifelong battle of body issues, and always wanting to lose those 5-10 pounds, I have found a "secret to losing weight" that works for me.
I had to identify why I wanted to lose those 5-10 pounds. Some may find their reasons are for health, looks, to fit into old clothes, modeling, increased energy, boost in self-confidence, etc.. To help you uncover your own reasons, I am going to share mine with you because as I really thought about why I wanted to lose weight, I really had to dig.
Here is what I discovered:
* To look good and be comfortable in a swimsuit
* To be more comfortable with how I looked while making love with my husband
* To bridge the gap of jealousy I had with others who were "thinner" then me.
* To look better and feel more comfortable in the clothes that I wear.
No matter your reason, shallow or not, this helps. Now, once you identify the specifics, write them down in a notebook. Anytime you are having a hard time resisting food and temptation or getting yourself to work out, pull out the notebook and read through your reasons for wanting to lose weight. Read them through as many times as you need until you are strong enough to not give in to the struggle you are having, whether it be eating something you shouldn't or not wanting working out. This really worked for me, and with sincerity and practice, I know it can work for you! -Diet DiVa
