LEARN HOW TO STOP DIETING & START LIVING
When it comes to dieting, far too often we take those first steps
towards weight loss bliss for what we later determine are all the
wrong reasons. Ultimately however, if your reason works for you
there is no truly wrong reason to diet. The trick is in finding the
reason that will actually work for you.
I've seen all kinds of excellent motivators when it comes to
dieting and taking your dieting seriously. One of the more
common reasons is to lose weight. This is as good of a reason as
any. Some want to get back into the size 5 jeans they wore in
high school while others would simply like to be able to look in
the mirror once again without feeling guilt. For some this is a
simple matter of vanity and for others it is finally managing to
deal with what has become a lifelong problem. If you find the
inspiration you need to be successful with your dieting this time
as opposed to others, then that is the perfectly plausible and
acceptable reason for you to diet.
Other reasons for dieting include a desire to be more physically
fit. Some of us have a deep and abiding desire to live as long as
possible and firmly believe that the best possible method for
accomplishing this goal is to live the healthiest life possible. This
is another excellent reason for losing weight and getting into
shape. If it works for you that is. The thing to remember is that
every person is going to have to find their very own motivation
deep within.
Yet another great reason is to have the energy you need to keep
up with your little ones. This is one of the most heartbreaking
side effects for most when it comes to obesity. There is simply no
energy left over at the end of the day to enjoy doing things with
your precious little ones who are young for such a very short
amount of time. You desperately want to be able to build those
precious memories with them but absolutely have no energy with
which to do so. If that isn't bad enough you probably (if you are
considered morbidly obese) have noticed that many of the
simplest activities with your children often bring you physical pain
that is the direct result of your weight.
Revenge is a dish that is best served cold and another excellent
motivator for some when it comes to dieting and taking off those
pesky pounds. Losing a great deal of weight takes time in many
cases so you must be able to maintain your motivation even
when things are going rough along the way. The path to a new
body is not an easy path. This is for those who have some serious
emotional healing to do and the best revenge for old slights and
wounds is to come back more beautiful than ever before. If this
motivation is what it takes for you to take off the pounds then
this is the motivation to which you should cling.
Religion is another common weight loss motivation. Some people
believe the body should be treated as a temple. There is nothing
wrong with this philosophy at all, though it takes some us longer
to find our way to that line of thinking than others. Religion and
faith are powerful motivators, as they have been known to bring
healing to those in need by the power of their faith or their
prayers. If your faith can give you the will power and strength
you need in order to reach your dieting and weight loss goals
then by all means lean on your faith and hold it close.
No matter what motivation you have for dieting and losing weight
if you find it is no longer working for you, then you need to find
another motivator quickly. Without proper motivation it is quite
unlikely that you will ever meet your weight loss goals.
