Those who may know, I wrote an article on how I lost 10 pounds in three weeks successfully meaning I kept off the weight. If you have not read it you should; it is a good read. I explain what methods I used to help me lose weight considering my circumstances.
Quite impeccable since I am a college student with not much access to healthy foods. How did I stay motivated to keep going and keep progressing? Well, let me tell you losing weight has got to be one of the hardest things that I have ever wanted to achieve just because I've been trying for so long.
Now losing weight may be scary at first and if you are like me, you may not know where to start. Even if you try to youtube it and get free advice from those like myself, who were able to progress it still may be of no use due to your attributes. Most information that I've seen and trust me, I've seen a lot tell you that you may have to count calories or count your macros or micros etc. I can tell you now that losing weight is quite simple.
It can be hard to stay motivated during a weight loss journey even though you may seem committed. Honestly, you have to know that you will always be beautiful inside and out and this goes for males as well. Your weight does not make you who you are. Say this line over and over again until you are tired of hearing it. It is only something extra added like condiments on a pizza. Weird to compare these two things but you get the gist. Learn to love yourself now with all the insecurities so that when you do lose weight, it will just be something that has helped you progress even more.
To continue never let friends, family, or other interconnected relationships tear you away from your goal. I see this to be an issue in a lot of weight loss journeys on the internet, with close friends, and including myself. No matter what someone else says, you are the only person on this earth who's opinion matters when it comes to you so never lose sight of that. So again how does this relate to staying motivated?
Change and motivation start with your mindset. You can shape how you want to see things, If you look at weight loss as dreadful, time-consuming, not worth the time or effort then you will most likely never reach your goal. Once again, if whoever is reading this may feel down about it, I am here for you, and I believe in you. Just keep going. Just START somewhere.
