How to Stay Motivated to a Healthy Body--Even When You've Stopped Losing 

There are two common reasons why you lose motivation:  

The program is way too long OR you’ve stopped losing weight (and don’t know why).  

And, truth be told, I can tell a lot about a person’s weight loss program—just by looking at their notes (or lack of).  

Trust me, it’s normal to want to ditch your current program when it starts to get tough...

…but that won’t help anything!  

So what can you do to create a healthy body—when you stopped losing inches or pounds? 

It’s relatively simple…  

What does your current body look like and where do you see it going?  
How do you feel?  
What does your body feel like—and how do you want to change that?  
Are you acting differently because your body isn’t how you picture it being (depressed, angry, etc.)?  

One of the best motivators for change is to pinpoint the ideal vision of yourself!  Nothing feels better more than when you write down a vision that you have for yourself and achieve that vision.  

Trust me, a vision board (and your ideal vision for yourself) will push you harder than any trainer or diet program could!  

2. List Out The Reason for Change  

So, you want to lose 5 pounds…or you want to fit into your bikini…just won’t work when you want to stay motivated to changing your body.  

Why won’t they work?  They are far too broad and won’t help you refine and refocus your efforts.  So what should you do?  

Write down your goals and what you want to accomplish with your program.  Writing down exactly what you want has been shown to be a strong motivator for change—and one that could help you succeed.  

Take the example from above for losing 5 pounds.  To make that stronger and more defined, you’d want to say something like this:  

I want to lose 5 pounds by March so I can run around with my kids and not feel like I’m going to die.  

A concrete goal like that gives you a goal to meeting your deadline, a reason why you want to lose 5 pounds, and of course, a goal to aim for.  That chance for success with a goal like this is far greater than a simple generic statement regarding losing weight.  

And every time you put a check mark next to a smaller goal that you accomplished, it should give you a feeling of confidence that you can make these changes successful.  

4. Stop Weighing Yourself  

If you want to reach your ideal weight, you should throw out the scale—or at least weigh yourself every couple of weeks.  

The reason behind this is simple: Every day is a different day—and your weight will fluctuate throughout the week.  

So, if you step on a scale one day, and you see you’re down a pound, but the next your up three, it’s not going to be a very good motivator.  

How can you judge if it’s working?  

By how your clothes are fitting!  If your pants were tight a couple weeks ago, but feel much looser this week, that usually means you’ve lost weight and body fat.  

You could also check for changes in the mirror—as you may see some new definition where there wasn’t any before; or, you may notice your belly is a tad bit smaller.  

If you’ve become stuck in your plan—and you’re not dropping or you’re staying the same—then you may need to adjust your calories to match your current metabolic rate.  

When You Need To Make Changes  

If your plan is still treating you well—and you’re getting closer every day to a healthy body weight—then keep going.  

BUT:  

If you’ve found it hard to stay motivated—because you’ve stopped losing—then these steps are for you.  

Now, if you’ve decided to invest in a program to help you reach a healthy weight or your ideal body, there’s something you should know:  

Just eating right and adopting an exercise program are never enough.  

There is a missing element to each program that promises to help you achieve your ideal body, but never truly lives up to the promise.  

This missing element is so important, that I’ve put together a quick presentation to show you exactly what I mean.  Click the LINK below to view the presentation.
