The Psychology of Weight Loss: Part 2 – How are you motivated?

Written by Greg Ryan Fitness Expert

New Years Resolutions do not work because you are really not motivated when you think you are. On repparttar

surface you may be, but deep down you are not. That is why by April, that membership to repparttar 150831

gym, those new clothes and that new found motivation has all but disappeared.

When it comes to weight loss and sticking to an exercising program you are motivated from two emotions; fear and pleasure. You are also pushed from two directions; internally and outwardly. Out of repparttar 150832 four choices there are two good ones and two bad ones. In other words, two that will help you stick to losing weight and two that will eventually hinder you. Do you know which ones they are?

What motivates you to exercise? Fear of your health or Pleasure of feeling better

What drives you to exercise? Internally vital signs or Toned arms and legs

I best way of staying motivated is a combination of both. However, you have to figure out repparttar 150833 combination. I’ll give you a hint – pure motives are not seen. I believe that repparttar 150834 journey goes from denying repparttar 150835 reality of your health to a deep desire to take better care of yourself.

Your success in sticking with an exercise and weight loss program may just come down to you asking for help - unless pride gets in your way. The key to longevity is surrounding yourself with people who will give you support followed up by accountability.

“A good team is one that has quality support, honest encouragement, and requires personal responsibility.” From my e book The “A” Factor

Your Inner Circle

“You can tell a lot about a person by repparttar friends they keep.” This is a very true statement. Let me say this first. Many decisions in life have strings attached to them. Strings sometimes make it virtually impossible to accomplish any goal. However, it is important to be aware of who influences you repparttar 150830 most. Usually there are two types of people around you:

Toxic, negative, pessimistic people Non-toxic, encouraging support people.

Negative, Pessimistic People: Toxic

You usually know these people. After being around them you feel physically and mentally drained. Toxic people are envious, cynical, and pessimistic by nature. If you try to get support and encouragement from this type of person, all you’re going to get is frustrated. If possible, don’t spend much time with them.
