Do you remember a time when you were motivated to lose weight? All of a sudden, you hit a point where staying as you were was much more painful than the changes you needed to make to change. Maybe you saw a picture you were in and didn’t even recognize yourself. Maybe someone made a rude comment to you about your weight, or maybe you couldn’t play with your kids without getting out of breath.
Whatever it was that got you thinking “I MUST lose this weight”, embrace it! It’s in our moments of frustration that real growth appears!
But let’s face it, weight loss isn’t easy. If it was, everyone would be at their perfect weight. You need a continual stream of motivation to continue. I always tell the people I coach that they need to develop their “WHY” and envision themselves achieving that lifestyle. You need to just close your eyes and think about what it will be like to be at your perfect weight. What will you look like? How will you feel? What will you be able to do? And you need to do that daily! Doing it several times a day is even BETTER!
It doesn’t need to take a long time, but you need to make it feel REAL! Believe it or not, your mind cannot distinguish between what is real and what is vividly imagined!
This is the first step in successful and lasting weight loss!
What’s the second step? Belief! Even if you’ve tried a thousand times in the past, you have to believe that this time will be different. How do you do that? Well, one way of doing it is to find others who have done what you have done and realizing that if they did it, then so can you!
One of the reasons I was drawn to Beachbody is because the community is full of people who have done just that! Right now, they are starting the process of voting for one woman and one man who will each win the quarterly transformation contest (and $10,000)!
These people have all worked hard and have changed their lives! Now if that isn’t motivation, I don’t know what is!
Starting tomorrow, I’ll be posting a few transformation stories and videos every day. I hope you can find someone you can relate to and who will motivate you to make the changes you need to make to be a healthier YOU!
If you just can’t wait to view all of the success stories who are in the running for this $10,000, then you can get a free Beachbody account by clicking here!
