Lose Weight Fast Blogger
I lost weight by keeping myself motivated. Staying motivated is easier said than done, especially when I first started my weight loss journey. I wanted the pounds to come off overnight, and when they didn't, I would give up for a day or two and revert back to my old mindset. One thing that helped me stay motivated when loosing weight was to have my own cheerleaders rooting me on. I recruited my cheerleaders through facebook. I let them know from the very beginning of my weight loss journey that I would be posting regular pictures and blogging for accountability purposes. I held up my end up the agreement. Each week, I would snap pictures of my weight loss
progress. I have nearly 2500 pictures that were taken with my cell phone during
a 7 month journey. Now that's some serious picture taking. Walking down the
street, I would snap my picture. Sitting in a restaurant, I would snap my
picture. Going to the gym, I would snap my picture. Chilling in the backyard, I
would snap my picture.... When you are loosing weight, it is sometimes hard for you to see exactly how well you've been doing. This is because you see yourself everyday. To you....you look the same. By taking pictures daily, you can do a photo-comparison. When you see the difference, pat yourself on the back for a job well done. And even if you don't see a difference, STILL pat yourself on the back for a job well done.
Another thing I did to stay motivated while loosing weight was find me a good mirror. I know it sounds silly. But it worked for me. I didn't like looking in the mirrors I had at home, because they made me look bigger. But now...the mirror in the taco bell that was down the street from my house...that mirror told the TRUTH. I could really see
a major difference every time I looked in that mirror. I would make weekly visits to that taco bell, just so I could spend a few minutes in the mirror ...snapping pictures of how good and fabulously skinny I was starting to look.
I mentioned this in another post... But it can stand to be repeated. I invested in weight loss gear that made me feel good about working out. I bought cute gym suits that made me excited about getting up to work out each day. I didn't buy regular clothes because I didn't want to purchase a size that didn't match the vision in my head. But I did have fun
going into the dressing and snapping pictures of me in a size 16. And whenever I needed more motivation, I would go back and look at the picture of me in the size 22 compared to me in the size 16. The pictures proved to me that my hard work and commitment to losing weight was paying off.
These are just a few things that I did to stay motivated while loosing weight... Now, I'm not telling you to drive across town to find a mirror that makes you look skinny. I'm not telling you to go out and spend $200 on gym suits. I'm just saying, find what works for you. Find something ANYTHING that motivates you or inspires you to keep loosing the weight. By staying motivated, you won't give up on your vision of a healthier you. You will keep going until you accomplish every goal that has been set. You can do it!!! I believe in you!!! So let's go!!!
