Two days ago Successthistime wrote in his journal about perspective & motivation. I decided today I wanted to touch ,more on this subject as to what does "MOTIVATION" mean to each and every one of you? How do you motivate yourself on a daily basis's? Does FS & the buddies you make really help? Is it your self perseverance? Maybe you have a big day you want to look great for? Anyway, we all have our "MOTIVATION" & reason's to why we're here to lose the weight....So let me start this conversation off with what I use to "MOTIVATE" me.....
M.....make short term goals (Don't make a goal that you know is unattainable to set yourself up for failure)
O.....out with the negative thoughts (Remember positive thought's are how we achieve our goals in life)
T.....think of why you want it (If you have a reason for doing, you try harder and do)
I.....imagine how you will feel (You complain about illness, not being able to run without breathing hard or whatever. When you lose you lose the health issues too)
V.....visualize the future you (I wanna live pass 70 and watch my granddaughters graduate, get married and have children, my great grandchildren)
A.....acknowledge your successes (I know I'm not going to do this over night, but losing even 1 pound a week is a huge success)
T.....treat yourself with respect (I am a caring loving individual. Just because I'm obese does not mean I don't have feelings)
I.....investigate new ideas and foods (I will do research on dieting. Learn what works for me and not do what works for others.)
O.....observe your healthy lifestyle (I will take notice of my goals and continue to improve on areas that need improvement)
N.....never give up and never give in (I don't know the word quit & I will "SUCCEED")
This is what I use to "MOTIVATE" myself. It may not be for everyone, but it's my "MOTIVATION" to succeed in my endevour of a HEALTHY LIFESTYLE.....GOD BLESS!!!!HOAHH!!!
