The most difficult part of dieting to lose
weight is staying determined. Often we start
a diet full of energy at the hope of losing
weight but that energy and determination
quickly dies down and flat lines.
Staying determined when trying to lose
weight on a diet requires 2 things. The
right diet plan that will produce results
and of course a way of staying determined.
Luckily this article will show you an
excellent method that I've used to stay
focused and determined.
I've developed a method to help train your
brain to stay determined and keep you
motivated.
It's one of the best "Train Your Brain"
methods I've adapted from the motivation
guru himself - Tony Robbins.
On a piece of paper, finish off the
following sentences.
1. I want to Lose __ lbs (It could be
10 lbs or even 200 lbs)
2. If I fail __________________________
(Be brutally honest with yourself)
Examples
1. I want to Lose 20 lbs.
2. If I fail I will waste another summer
feeling fat and ugly.
1. I want to Lose 200 lbs.
2. If I fail I will potentially shorten
my life and could die a weight related
death.
Put that piece of paper somewhere you will
see everyday. Try to put it somewhere
you will see for most of the day when you
have a bit of time to day dream. I'm a
programmer and I work at home so it was
stuck at the top of my computer screen. It
doesn't have to be some where like this but
you get the idea.
I was quite overweight and needed to lose a
lot of weight, and the 2nd example is
actually what I wrote down and put in front
of me everyday. I was brutally honest with
myself.
2 things will happen.
Looking at that piece of paper daily will
switch your brain into overdrive.
1. Your brain will try and figure out a way
to achieve your goal.
2. Your brain will start to associate
pain with what you've written down if
you fail and it will force you to try your
hardest to avoid the pain.
Let me give you an example... Have you been
asked to go to the beach but you were
embarrassed about your ugly fat?
If you made up an excuse NOT to go to
the beach, that's you brain subconsciously
trying to avoid the pain of being in a
swimsuit and being embarrassed!
Now... if you see everyday what will happen
if you fail you will increase your drive to
avoid the pain because you've made the
consequences of failure clear. (Remember you
have to be brutally honest with yourself).
To increase your determination
further read what you've written down OUT
LOUD (in your head if people are around you
and you are embarrassed) several times -
every time you see that piece of paper.
I hope this helps anyone trying to lose
weight but not being able to stay determined
at losing weight.
The most difficult part of dieting to lose
weight is staying determined. I've developed
a method to help train your brain to stay
determined to keep you motivated.
