Secret? Well there really is no secret to weight loss. I think what is needed though is an
extreme, burning desire to do so. In other words, you have to want it really, really badly
enough and be
willing to do what it takes to do day in and day out - forever.
And if you're looking for the secret to motivation, that doesn't exist in my book. Motivation is great to get one
started, but unfortunately it is rarely around when the cookies are and when the couch is nearby instead of the treadmill.
So, I don't
rely on my motivation. Once I had that
burning desire to lose the weight - I made a
commitment. A
commitment that no matter what I was going to get and stay at a healthy weight. A
commitment to myself to do whatever it takes to be a healthy person. That
commitment is what keeps me from resisting
xyz and eating healthy foods instead, day after day. That
commitment is what forces me to exercise on the days that I "just don't feel like it."
So first dig down deep. Decide just how badly you want this. Then make that
commitment. Then find a plan that is right for you and make it work for you.
Losing weight, permanently, and a lot of it is possible. It's something that IS doable. And you too can most definitely do it!!
