Healthy Lifestyle Motivation Techniques
This is part of the How to Lose Weight and Keep it Off article.
Ok, so you’ve decided to get healthy, lose some weight, and be more active? Good. How do I stay motivated?
- Decide and Do { as Yoda says, "do or do not, there is no try" ; as Nike says, "Just do it." }
- Watch your tabular data and graphs. I get motivated to continue when I see my history of weight loss captured over months. This is my greatest motivation.
- Hang out with healthier people
- Join an activity or team; you aren’t thinking about food when you’re doing something else
- Watch TV shows like the BBC You are What you Eat show. This show has changed the way I look at food. It just clicked for me. Maybe it will click for you. Find what does and use it.
- Watch Exercise TV
- Watch Food Preparation shows – quick recipes that taste good. I’m working on crockpot recipes myself.
