How to Motivate Yourself in Beginning to
Lose Weight
By Magda Napitupulu
I have read one article, that says that one of the reasons that
it is hard for you to lose weight is YOUR ATTITUDE. It is the "I
can do it TOMORROW"-Attitude, which I admit it, it is also
one of my bad habit inside me.
I want to give you some tips that I use on me to move my motivation
and bring my body to start to think about LOSING Weight NOW !!.
I write here the tips in steps to make it easier.
1. Write your GOAL
--> Write down your TARGET weight,
--> the more specific more better, for example; in 3 Months,
or until Christmas 2008.
--> Write it BIG and HIGHLIGHT it !!
2. Write a LIST the THINGs that you want to AVOID during your DIET
--> For example: DON'T Eat chips, junk food(Cheeseburgers, HotDogs,
Fries, etc.)
--> Or maybe also: DON'T BUY any Clothes until I lose Weight
!!
3. Hang your GOAL and LIST on a wall where you can see it anytime
you need it.
--> My suggestion: next to your bed or your desk..
--> The purpose is that it would remind you fast for what you
really want and could bring you more motivation.
4. Before your go to the grocery, write down all the things that
you wanted to buy.
--> And NOT FORGET to try buying ONLY the things that you wrote
at home..
5. Buy ONLY RAW Food
--> What I mean here is really Raw Vegetables, Meat, Onions,
Garlic and Stuffs.
--> NOT the "5-10 minutes to Cook"-Food !!
--> This can also help you starting to lose some weight, How?
a. You have to cook if you want to eat, and by cooking you would
do exercise.
b. If you want to eat snack, you would find nothing in your fridge
that you can eat right away.
c. And I believe, you would not have the desire to cook again just
for a snack..Right??
6. Do little exercise where ever you are...
--> For example; while you're watching tv, you could do some
hands / foot exercise.
--> You can find the exercises on the internet. Very easy !!
--> If you are inside a mall or a big building with stairs and
elevator, choose always the stairs to go to the next floor.
--> Wake up 10 minutes earlier as usual and do some easy exercise,
and do it also before you go to bed.
7. DO the 6 Steps without FAIL in about 1-2 Weeks.
--> Those Steps could change you body rhythm little by little,
so then if you start your REALLY DIET Program, your body would NOT
be shocked and you could easily follow the Program.
---> After this I would suggest you to find your self a good
DIET program that really fits you....
Read Books, articles or maybe find out websites that offers DIET-Programs.
If you like, you can see my blog and look for a program that suits
you.
Good Luck..
