How do I keep motivated while trying to lose weight?
Cookie Diet November 16th, 2009
I’m not fat – in fact, I love my body. But the one thing I’ve never felt confident about is my stomach. I have a tendency to eat when I’m bored, whether I’m hungry or not, or I just get a craving for a certain kind of food – and usually, it’s not exactly the healthiest.
I have trouble keeping myself motivated to eat less often and to eat healthier foods. I’m going with my school on a trip to Disney soon, so I’ve tried to tell myself that I have to try and look good by then. I also tell myself that I want to look good for my boyfriend and that eating junk food isn’t good for my health – but I still can’t seem to resist reaching for the cookies and ice cream.
I have some Pilate’s videos by Mari Winsor which are effective, but I only like to do them when I’m in the mood and I have trouble getting motivated to go and work out.
I find that diets help me lose weight, but I feel like I can’t enjoy the foods I like and that I’m eating small portions. As soon as I’m off the diet, I slowly gain the weight back, which I know isn’t healthy.
How can I keep myself motivated to exercise and reach for healthier foods?
Thank you for visiting our Cookie Diet website today. We hope you join the program and start losing weight.
You need to find some type of exercise you like, and keep at it…forever and you will be less likely to gain weight. Can you join a gym? I find getting out of the house to do exercise really helps and I am more inclined to do it. I find exercise videos very boring and i hate doing them. I will do it for a week or two, get bored and quit. If you go to a gym ther are so many different things to do so you can switch it up and you dont get so bored. You have to make exercise a part of your daily life and just do it!
Dont try and look good for your boyfriend, do it for YOU! you will gain confidence and look and feel better about yourself.
