Motivation For Fat Loss
For my trip to New York, I had really been hoping to find mild weather, but when I got there the city was more like a Winter Wonderland -- covered in snow.
I like how the neighborhood looks when it's covered in show -- it's really quite lovely. This appreciation for all the loveliness is usually short-lived and I tend to want to leave when the feeling fades. This time was no different, but I have no choice -- I must stay.
One of the problems many people have with weight loss is motivation. People often start with great expectations, and then, when they hit a roadblock, their plan or program comes undone, and they fall back into old habits.
I've found a couple of things that work for a good number of people.
1. Changing your mental pictures
2. Documenting your measurements.
3. Writing about your plan and your progress.
4. Accepting the fact you aren't perfect.
Unfortunately, overweight people often think of themselves as failures in some way. So they eat for comfort. The junk food is way of saying to themselves, "I'll be fine as long as I have my ice cream and french fries."
This is delusional, but it's true, and it needs to change. You need to start looking in the mirror and imagining yourself as healthy and fit all the time. This doesn't happen overnight, but it is easily accomplished by practice. Changing the picture pays you huge dividends in the long run.
You will become what you imagine if you practice.
Taking your body measurements with a tape measure is fine, but I think photographs are a better tactic. Take a "before" photo, take a good long look at that picture, and then form an image in your mind of just what you would like your "after" photo to look like. Then get to work.
Start keeping a diary, or a journal. You can do it on paper or do it on the computer. Every day you log what you eat, and the exercise you do. At the end of the week take another photo. 3 or 4 weeks into your program you should start seeing real changes in the way your body looks. 10 or 12 weeks in, the changes should be major.
When you slip up, and you will, you log that too. This will help you to see where you have a weakness. But most important, don't fuss and worry about it. Don't try to double your exercise to make up for it. Just get back in your routine, smile at yourself, and let it go.
Your body will be grateful to you.
It's so important to listen to your body. As you begin to get fit, your body will begin to tell you what types of healthy things it needs. But if you don't listen, your body may give you another message, and this one won't be nice.
For your body to function at its highest level, you need to be doing other things than just eating healthy foods and using a good exercise routine. Enteric-coated pharmaceutical-grade fish oil is one of those things.
The daily addition of pharmaceutical-grade enteric-coated fish oil has many benefits. It optimizes your joint mobility, aids in the function of your brain and nervous system and has many cardiovascular benefits. Add it to you routine -- every day.
I've been taking pharmaceutical grade fish oil for quite some time, and I can tell you, for instance, that if I miss taking it for a day or two, my joints start talking to me.
(Hey Bill ... it's your joints talking. You forgot to give us our fish oil yesterday and the day before. Here is a little message for your elbow...yep, it hurts, so next time don't forget about us!)
It's happened more than once, since I travel frequently, but I solved the problem by getting extras that are "travel only" bottles, which never leave my travel bag. - 17268
