Weight Loss: Motivation

Before you start any diet or regiment, you need to get motivated. There are 3 main types of motivation: short term, long term, and mid-term.
The most popular motivations for short term are:
Get slim for wedding day (I’ve actually lost 10 Lb. for my wedding)
Get slim to start dating again.
Look good for school reunion.
Look great on your relative/friend wedding.
Fit into sexy jeans, skirt, dress
Those motivations are great, but the problem is that people are happily gaining weight back as soon as event is over. I gained all 10 pounds back right after the honeymoon...
Our goal is to keep weight down for good.
Long term motivations are usually related to health issues. The most effective one is you need to lose weight or you are going to die,, this motivates people good, but we do not want to come to this extreme.
Good long term motivation is to do it for you. If you do not feel good in your weight, or you do not like how you look… You, yourself, not anybody else, but you.. Remember you are beautiful and unique in any weight!!! You just need to keep yourself healthy and comfortable in your own body.
Midterm motivation is very good to keep up.
One of the greatest ones for girls: buy really pretty skirt, or jeans one or couple of sizes smaller and try it on once a week to see progress.
