Giving Yourself Drive To Get Fit
It’s never simple to lose weight. Not all people are gifted with great genes. Most of us have difficulty preventing the extra biscuit from getting into our limbs. You may be slim and fit during your teens, but your metabolism rate has slowed by the time you reach your thirties.
Losing of your love handles and excess weight isn’t just a physical game. It’s a mind and body affair. It’s something that you can’t win without preparing both physical and mental state.
For some, losing weight is a vicious cycle. You gain this excess pounds that you want to lose. You start to diet and workout, but each time you see yourself with the added weight you become depress, thus leading you to eat some more and gain pounds. It’s a sad, sad and very vicious cycle, indeed.
Sure, you have tested every diet there is in the market. You have even gulped down various slimming pills and supposed miracle products available in the market. You have worked it out on the treadmill and have enrolled in several gym memberships. But somehow, the pounds you want to lose just won’t budge. Just what exactly is wrong?
There are two things you may lack: discipline and consistency. You can’t keep up with the workout program you designed yourself. And if after a little while things don’t work out, you turn to another fitness program even before you could see if that was really effective. If boredom if preventing you from sticking to your schedule, then change it to a more stimulating plan, such as ballroom dancing or tennis playing. If motivation is your problem, then give yourself a non-threatening reward every after you complete an exercise. Non-threatening prizes may include a trip to the shopping mall or watching films, and not an extra serving of dessert.
If that’s still not working for you, try giving yourself your own stimulus package. This means that you will give yourself a reward even before you start earning it.
Because losing weight is such a vicious cycle that is both physically and mentally excruciating, it is more depressing each time you step into a weighing scale and see that instead of losing the weight, you are gaining more. If this is similar to your own case, then give yourself a more fit body even before you begin losing weight.
Why don’t you enter a fitness program that helps you lose weight faster or even ask a doctor to drain off your fat if you want to. Then you can start working out. The logic behind this is that you need to prepare your mind first before you embark on a grueling routine. Seeing yourself in a skinnier form gives you an idea that losing weight is really achievable, thus, giving you an upbeat attitude. It is an bonus that you would have to continue, and would be willing to do so seeing the result already.
The incentive plan shouldn’t be abused, though. You are giving yourself one because you want to stop the cruel cycle and begin a fitness phase with a positive mentality. But relying on it fully and shunning your health program is not the best course of action to take. Remember, you wish to lose weight to stay healthy.
