Im excited to share some of the things Ive done to stay motivated. I hope that if youre feeling discouraged with your weight loss you take the time to try a few of these out.
The first thing I did was buy an incentive dress. Buying clothes in a smaller size usually helps me stay focused. I found this Jessica Simpson one on Amazon for relatively cheap. It should fit in about 14 more pounds. I know that working hard to fit into this dress will make it so much more rewarding when it actually fits.
The next thing I did was make a fitness motivation wall. I got the idea from HCGDiet.coms Fitness Pinterest Board. I cut out pictures from magazines and hand wrote all of the quotes because in some way it made it more genuine. I wrote down the amount I have to lose so with each pound I lose I can cross it off. I hung all of it on my bedroom wall so its one of the first things I see when I wake up in the morning.
I also reached out to a friend of mine who has done the diet and asked her for some support. Ali was so sweet to tell me exactly what I needed to hear. I was able to be open and honest about my frustrations and I knew that there was no judgement when I explained the situation. I cant stress how important it is having someone who understands your goals and who encourages you to stick with them even though they can see you struggling.
Then theres the last thing, and actually its probably the easiest. I spend a lot of time going through Instagram searching the hashtags #healthy, #fitspiration, and #motivation. The images are motivation. Sometimes dieting can feel really lonely, but when I search through these images I realize Im not the only one out there trying to better myself, and if they can do it so can I.
What are some ways you stay motivated when your weight loss is slow?
