Does Your Motivation to Diet Run Out Too Soon? Discover How to Keep Motivation High:

Starting a diet is exciting - you are finally doing someng about s problem that has been bothering you so long. The first week requires quite a change in diet but the work is worthwhile because you drop 5 pounds! Your motivation is high and you feel psyched about the prospect of having a new body.

Untunately after the first week your weight loss progress tends to slow making it hard to stay motivated, you begin going through the "dieting motions" and your focus slowly shifts away from "How gt life will be when you are at your goal weight" to "What can and can't I eat?" It is s shift in focus that causes many to quit a diet bee its time.

In order to succeed at any goal you must keep your eye on the prize. You must have a clear picture in your mind's eye of what you want to accomplish and be able to vividly picture how enhanced your life will be when you hit that goal. Visualizing is an exercise used by business people, actors and pro- and Olympic athletes; it is what drives them to work hard and ch their goals. The road to ching your goal is no different, you might not be focused on winning an Academy Award or hitting a home run in game seven of the World Series but you are setting out to accomplish someng few other people do; lose weight and keep it off. Theree, you have to work as hard mentally as you do physically.

When you have been dieting awhile it is easy your focus to drift toward the day to day tasks that come with weight loss: you must plan your meals, be mindful of your portion sizes, and pack lunches and snacks, these ngs can easily take over your focus if you let them. So the solution is, don't let them. You can accomplish s by clearly embedding your vision of success in your head. Cte a one- to three sentence vision statement that describes in vivid detail what life will be like when your goal is ched. Read it several times a day until it becomes so crystal clear in your mind that it would seem wrong it not to happen. This becomes your tool to get through the times when dieting inevitably becomes boring or temptation strikes.

The son dieting becomes so hard after a couple of weeks is because you lose sight of what you are working . Develop a vision statement and plant it in your mind so you never lose focus on the goal and you will find the strength, determination and persistence to continue dieting and ch your goal.
