You're fat! Husky, hefty, stocky, rotund, plump, portly, chubby, chunky, corpulent: fat. You can see it when you look in the mirror, when you go shopping, when you step on that scale. It may have snuck up on you one meal at a time. Maybe you have been heavy all your life. Whatever the case may be, you have determined that today is the big day. Your journey to slim begins today.
But how? There are of course the common answers. Good diet and proper exercise. Of course, you reply. I knew that already, and I knew you'd tell to do it. But really, how do I do it? Where do I begin? What diet, which exercise? What happens if it doesn't work? Well, you are going to be fat, just the way you are now.
The hardest part of losing the weight will not come to you in the gym. Sweating will not be your demise. Your downfall will come slowly. You will be excited at first, but then the doubt will set in. Or the worry, or the time constraints. What can you do to circumvent all of these things? What is the miracle answer behind finally dropping the weight that has been holding you down too long? The answer is so simple. The road to thin just got a little less treacherous.
The one most important factor to getting to successful weight loss is this: figure out why you're doing it. Why do you want to lose weight? Yes, you want to be healthy and look great, but what is it that truly lights your fire? Think about is: envision yourself thin. What is it that you are doing, where are you going to, what are you wearing? This is your answer. Write it down on paper. Flesh it out until it is exactly the moment you are working toward.
If you want to be healthy, feel attractive, and keep up with your kids, your why might be "to play tag wearing short shorts in the park." Make it as real as it is going to be. Put it down on paper. Give yourself ten good whys. Now you have them and they are cement. Use these as little reminders to self that will keep you motivated to keep going on. Is it a vacation you are after?
A photo of the tiny seats on European public transportation will be a good reminder for you to stay on you treadmill. A JCPenny's catalog in the take out menu drawer will magically remind you to eat a salad. Your weight loss journey and the motivation it takes to succeed are very personal, but your 'whys' shouldn't be. Tell you 'whys' to the people closest to you. Sharing your goals will help to hold you accountable and help you to succeed.
Regardless of what it is, your answer lies within you. Your reason why will ultimately be the driving force behind all that you do in your life. In this particular instance, having your why will be the force that forces you to act (or not act) in order to achieve your goal. Your why will get you up out of bed or off the couch. It will lace your trainers. Your why will make that salad look great and the sore muscles feel victorious. Armed with your own personal secret weapon, your success is all but guaranteed.
