Cinch® Inspiration Tip: Staying Motivated

The inner force that drives us towards change – that’s motivation.
Think of motivation as the fuel
that energizes you to reach for your weight loss goals and stay
committed to achieving them.
Motivation to lose weight requires that you have an understanding
of what’s really important to
you. Is it your health and longevity? Is it how good you look in
that black dress or business suit or
is it something else?
To help you find what will motivate you most, ask yourself these
three questions:
What do I want? You may think the answer to this one is easy. You want to lose
weight. But you
need to get more specific. Do you want to be a size 10 or a size
2? Do you need to change your
whole lifestyle or just a few unhealthy habits? Do you want to run
a marathon or do you want to
be able to just walk comfortably around the neighborhood?
Why do I want it? Once you know what you really want, ask yourself why. It’s not
enough to say
I want improved health. What will improved health get you? Maybe
it will provide you with more
energy to play with your kids or improve your self esteem.
What am I willing to do to get it? Once you know what you want and why, the next step is to
assess what you will need to do to succeed. Are you willing to
follow your meal plan? Are you
willing to get up extra early to exercise?
Need more? Feel free to borrow these common motivations to help
keep your momentum going.
1. Self-confidence – accomplishing goals leads to an increase in
self-confidence. The
more you achieve while on this program, the more you will believe
in yourself and your
abilities.
2. Fit into your “skinny clothes” – if you’re like most people you have a set of “skinny
clothes” hiding in your closet somewhere, just waiting for the day
you can wear them
again. The time has come to make them your “everyday clothes.”
3. Your children/your grandchildren
– the healthier you are, the longer
you will be around
to enjoy your children and their children, and their children!
4. The “you look great” effect – visualize this: you go to work, to the grocery store, to
the
gym, where you run into someone you know and they say, “Wow – you
look great!” Feels
pretty good doesn’t it? By sticking to your goals, you can make
this happen!
5. Sharing your success with others
- one the most important reasons to
stay motivated
and reach your goal is to share this opportunity with other
people. When other people
learn how you lost the weight and improved your health, they will
be looking to you for
help. By staying motivated you have the potential to not only help
yourself, but many
other people
too!
