Re: Staying Motivated in Critical Moments

[Guest guest]

something a friend recomended to me was to make a list of 100

reasons to lose weight. At first, i thought it'd be easier than it

is... but ya know jus tha process of making this list has been soooo

helpful cuz it helps me think of reasons to keep pushin through in

the times when jack in the box is chanting how much easier a drive-

through is than cooking at home.

And as sappy as it sounds, one of the things that's really been a

huge motivator for me is to be surfing through music sites and

finding sappy love songs and thinking of my friend. That helps me

remember that one of the kewlest things about this is when i get to

tell him i've reached another health goal... i love hearing how

proud he is. I'm doing this for me. But it IS really nice to hear

him and a few other friends cheer me on and say they're proud of

what I'm doing.

SO what are some good motivators for ya'll?

with healthy living. It seems that no matter how determined you are

to embrace healthy living, life always has a way of making you

reconsider your commitment and readjust your goals. The key to

staying motivated and finding success, in my humble opinion, lies in

learning how to manage those moments of truth that either make or

break your effort. You know what moments I'm talking about. I'm

referring to those very critical moments where temptation meets

weakness.

the going gets tough. And motivation, to a large degree, is a lot

like a fire. In order to keep both alive and burning, you need to

fan their flames and continuously add fuel to the mix.

coaxing you into unhealthy territory. These moments of truth are

critical because there is one magnificent moment when the decision

to eat is made, and if you can manage that moment, you can solve

this problem. Find what motivates you most and then make that

motivation a key weapon in your wellness arsenal!
