What is weight loss motivation?
Motivation is a word that is used commonly but rarely questioned. Where weight loss is concerned, the motivation is obvious: living a longer healthier life. We all have a desire to live a long and healthy life: this is our motive.
But motivation is also used to describe a mental state. You might hear some say that they just don’t feel motivated to work out today. It doesn’t mean of course that the person is rejecting the opportunity of a long and healthy life.
This is a short-term negative mental state. They know that by not working out today, it will not have any immediate detrimental effects on them. However if they were told that they would DIE tomorrow if they didn’t work out today, you wouldn’t see their heels for dust!
The point here is that you will not see immediate results from either dieting or exercise and lack of motivation begins to slowly creep in. We have come used to immediate results in our modern day life. Instant results on your computer when you click a button or when you change the tv channels. Weight Loss is just not instant and I think it never will be. It will continue to be a battle until the new way of life becomes the NORMAL way of life!
When you cross that bridge to the healthy side of life with all the help you can get, that bridge can collapse and plunge into the ravine, and you won’t care because you weren’t going back there anyway!
Well if you could control the weather and made it sunny every day then we would all feel motivated
Well yes there is a lot to what you say. My biggest problem is actually getting off the sofa and going out for a walk. I don’t understand it but when I’m out, it feels great. So why don’t I do it more often. Beats me!
