People don't see weight loss results for many reason but it all boils
down to just a few things really when they are all lumped together.
The
number one reason that people don't see weight loss results is EXCUSES.
Excuses come in all forms but they are still just what they are
excuses.
There are internal excuses - those kinds of excuses are the ones that you tell yourself such as
"You aren't going to see results."
"Why are you even doing this anyway nothing is going to change."
"Girl, you have been this big for so long you aren't going to quit AGAIN so you might as well save yourself the trouble"
These
types of excuses are toxic and can hinder your progress and even stop
it if you let your mind take control over your actions. You should
always know why you are doing the things that you are doing. Weight loss
in my opinion should be a GOAL. When you set out to make goals you HAVE
to know why you are wanting to attain or achieve that goal. If you do
things blindly without focus you are going to lose the motivation and
drive to complete the things that you want or you think that you wanted.
Weight loss is a journey whether it is a 5 or 150 pound journey that
you are taking. It is isn't easy but it will sure be worth it in the
end.
Then there are external excuses which include:
I am too busy with work.
I don't have time for my family already as it is.
My family doesn't support what I am doing.
I don't have the money to eat healthy or the time to make all my meals.
I work so late there is no way I am going to fit in a workout.
I work the late shift how the heck am I going to cook and prepare all these healthy meals?
These
types of excuses can be masked as REASONS why you aren't ready or
willing to make the change that you think you want. At the end of the
day if you can't reach your goals because of one of the excuses that you
are making you have no one to blame but yourself. We are all
responsible for our actions and choices that we make in this life. I am a
firm believer that if you want the change in your life you should be
ready and willing to give whatever change it is that you want 100% of
your time and attention and not forget why it is that you are doing
whatever it is to begin with.
Tips to get what you want:
Leave
the excuses at the door. If weight loss is what you want than weight
loss is what you will get if you leave the excuses alone.
Write down your goals for weight loss and what you are going to do to achieve those goals.
Write down solutions to the obstacles that you see in your way.
Write down WHY you are doing this.
Write down a plan to get to your goals and take it one step at a time one commitment at a time.
