How many times has someone told you that you should take a picture of yourself and hang it on your fridge, or just weigh yourself every day, or constantly monitor your calories as some kind of motivation to lose weight? Did they really work? If they worked, for how long?
The problem with seeking weight loss tips or motivational suggestions is that people often look outside of themselves. Simply put, no one knows you like you know yourself, and obviously what worked for someone may not work for you. But the most important thing is to remember that the choices you make come from within. No one else is telling you not to exercise and no one else is telling you to eat that brownie.
Pay attention to how food actually affects you. Many people feel good when they eat processed junk food but then immediately regret it. Your feelings after eating it are always the same; depression, guilt and a hopelessness that no one should feel. Perhaps he felt a loss of willpower that sadly left him in a downward spiral.
Focus on what makes you feel good; eating nutritious food, exercising, or following your diet for a week in a row. Follow a diet that is easy to follow and makes you feel alive and full of energy. Look no outside sources for your new healthy diet and lifestyle. Always pay attention and listen to what your mind and body are really telling you.
