Motivation: Why do you want to do it anyway? by Darryn Aldridge

3. Personal Satisfaction: While we don’t necessarily need to look like a model, we do tend to feel better about

ourselves when we have a better self image of ourselves.

Being physically happy will help you to be mentally happy also. Imagine yourself wearing your dream outfit or

performing an activity you are no longer able to do in your present state. Imagine how good that will make you feel.

4. Medical necessity: What is the cost to your health medically if you are unfit and overweight? The statistics

are mounting up concerning the diseases and health issues

that are now prevalent in our society due to the epidemic of an over-weight and obese society. Do you really want to die earlier than is necessary, or become a burden to your family? Just the monetary costs alone can be crippling to a lot of households, and many could use that money for other

commitments in life. Can you afford it?

As you can see, once we have clearly defined purposes for wanting to lose weight, we can now use these reasons as a major part of our motivation to seeing it through.

You must now take all this motivation you have gathered and start to develop a real Can Do attitude. By “Can Do”, I

mean you must totally believe that you will be able to achieve your goal, and live that goal for the rest of your

life. Without this total belief in yourself, your task will become so much harder and you may find that you fall off the rails and revert back to the old habits that you are

used to.

So, have you got the right stuff to see this through?

Only you can honestly answer this question, and only after you have gone through the previous steps will you start to discover if you are on a weight program for the right motivating reasons, or whether it is just a whim that is destined for failure.
