Everyone who has ever tried to lose weight knows that the really big issue is motivation – where do we find it, how do we keep it going, and what do we do when it slips!

To be successful at losing weight you must find your own motivation. It’s also very important that you keep motivated no matter the situation! Here are a few tips and tricks on maintaining your motivation.

Make some goals and set a realistic schedule when you should achieve them. Commit to them 100%.

Have it in black and white! Write down as much of the details as possible why you should lose weight, how much weight you have to lose, when, and how. The more you commit to paper the better. Carry a notebook around with you and use it to record thoughts and ideas, recipes, quotes – whatever will inspire you and keep you going.

Tell a friend or member of the family and ask them to help you stick with your plan.

Keep in mind that you are going on day at a time. You can stick at anything for one day!

Don’t think about the junk that you’re missing. You should be happy about the healthy foods that you are eating.

Make bullet points of your main motivational issues and write them on a stack of cards. Put the cards where you can see them regularly.

Have a mantra to repeat to yourself. For example, “Every day I am improving my health, my looks and my well-being. I am also getting stronger in all ways.”

You might consider asking for sponsorship from your friend and family for a charity. Perhaps you can raise money for starving children while you get your own eating under control?

Compile articles, recipes, and interesting things that you read.

Start another file of fashion and wardrobe ideas. Plan what you’ll need to buy once you lose weight.

Purchase a piggybank to fill with a certain amount of money for every pound you lose. You can use it towards your new outfits!

Find someone to share the experience with, and laugh your way through the tough times.

You can learn from other slimmers. You can read stories, join a club or a chat room, or start your own email group.
