Lose Weight With Help From Hidden Psychological Trigger

You’re fat! Husky, hefty, stocky, rotund, plump, portly, chubby, chunky, corpulent: fat. You can see it when you look in the mirror, when you go shopping, when you step on that scale. It may have snuck up on you one meal at a time. Maybe you have been heavy all your life. Whatever the case may be, you have determined that today is the big day. Your journey to slim begins today.

But how? There are the obvious answers. Diet, exercise, and eating right. Of course, you say. I knew you’d say that. I knew that. Everyone knows that. But really, how? What diet, which exercise? What if you fail? Well, you are going to be fat, same as now.

The most difficult part on the highway to weight loss will not be found in the gym. Nor will it be found in the sweat that drips down your face. Your down turn will come very slowly. You will begin enthusiastic and energetic, and then the wave of doubt will set in. Or maybe worry, or even time constraints. What can you do to handle all of these things? What is the miracle answer to finally being able to drop that weight that has been holding you back for so long? The answer is simple and easy. The journey to thing just got a little easier.

The single most important factor to ensuring a successful weight loss is this: determine your why. Why do you want to lose the weight? Of course you want to be healthy or look attractive, but what truly guides your desire. Think deeply: envision yourself thin. What are you doing, where are you going, what are you wearing? This is your answer. Write it down. Flesh it out until it is exactly, precisely the moment you are working toward.

If you desire to be healthier, more attractive, and keep up with your kids, your ‘why’ may be “to play softball wearing short shorts in the park.” Make it as real for yourself as it is going to be. Write it down on paper somewhere. Give yourself at least ten good ‘whys’. Now you have written them and they are in stone. Use these as reminders of why you are doing what you are doing and use them as motivation to continue. Is it a vacation that you desire?

An image of the small seat on European public transportation will remind you to stay on that treadmill. A Macy’s clothing catalog in the take out menu drawer will magically remind you how to make a salad. Your weight loss journey and the motivation it takes to be successful are very personal, but your ‘whys’ shouldn’t be. Share your ‘whys’ with the people closest to you. Telling other about your goals will give you just one more incentive to do well.

Whatever the ‘whys’ may be that you choose, your answer lies inside yourself. The reasons why you want to lose weight will be the driving forces behind your journey, and everything else that you do in your life. Your ‘why’ will wake you up in the morning and drag you to that treadmill, it will keep you from that drive through line at McDonald’s. Armed with your own personal secret weapon, you can make your weight loss dream a reality.
