Weight Loss - How To Stay Motivated

Weight Loss.

Two words that seem to almost exhaust and disappoint you just by hearing them.

Why?  Well, it's not an easy task and it's really hard to stick to, especially with all of the information out there on weight loss and what works for each individual person (which is always different!). How do you know what will work for you and what will be easy to stick with?  How does one stay motivated?

The answer:  Small goals.  And someone to keep you on track, whether it's a friend or a coach.

Why is that?  Small goals keep you from feeling overwhelmed.  And having someone that's got your back?  Priceless.  Most people don't like to disappoint others, and when you feel like you are disappointing a friend or a coach that is putting forth a lot of effort and time to create a plan to help you be successful (and you're investing time and money into them), you will be more motivated to try harder and not slack off.  ...Too much.  ;)  (Hey, we're all human, right??)

So what is the right formula?

I have found that when I work with my clients, they stick to their goals and are constantly getting closer to reaching their end result much quicker and easier when we set small goals over short periods of time.  I use 2-week time periods.  I use life/health coaching to go deeper than just the science of exercise and diet to help my clients lose weight.  With coaching, together we are able to find the real road blocks in their mind and in their life and find strategies to overcome these issues, stop procrastination, set health and weight loss goals as well as personal growth goals (like getting up earlier in the morning or opening that new business....whatever you want and need to improve on), and overcome emotional chains that hold them down.

So, what's holding you back?

Try to set some small goals.  Use the emotion behind reaching the goal (the emotion that you will have when you reach it) to motivate you.  Enlist the help of a friend.  Preferably someone that lives a healthier life than you currently do, so you look up to them..not someone that will tell you that you should not eat that ice cream cone, while they eat one in front of you because they aren't worried about their weight.  Not sure that will work for you?  I'm always here, ready and willing to help in any way I can.

If you would be interested in letting me help you get to your goals once and for all, but are a little unsure, then just schedule a free phone or in-studio consultation with me.  We will take the time to evaluate what physical and emotional state you are in currently, talk about your goals, make up a game plan to reach those goals, and see what we can do for you that will fit your personal budget if you would like to proceed.  No high-pressure sales....I'm here for you if you feel I can help you.
