Weight Loss Tip - Make Small Changes Rather Than Big Ones
Here’s a weight loss tip that you can use to start losing weight right away. The tip is pretty simple, but the implementation of it may be a bigger deal depending on how dedicated you are to it: Make small changes every week rather than big changes all at once!
A Revolutionary Weight Loss Tip?
Ok, this probably isn’t anything revolutionary, but it may make some of you think for a minute about it. And I hope that this approach can help you to reach more lasting weight loss.
How many of you have gotten to the point where you finally say, “That’s it!!! I’m never going to eat that way again! I’m going to make changes NOW and never go back to the way that I was!” Does this sound like you at one point?
And if this does sound like you, did you find yourself back to your old habits within a week or two? Disappointing isn’t it, but this is a common story out there if you get talking to people.
So I want you to look at weight loss (and weight loss motivation) in a completely new way. Rather than making huge drastic changes that are doomed to failure, try making small changes that cumulatively lead to a big change. This may sound like a revolutionary weight loss tip, but I hope that it just makes sense!
The Truth about Weight Loss Motivation
Motivation is key if you’re really going to lose weight. But when you try to make too many changes too quickly your mind subconsciously says, “Yeah right! You know how many times you’ve failed in the past, why will this time be any different?” Willpower is not enough to overcome this inner negative voice. You’ll find that you have much better luck when you sneak up on him.
That’s the point behind this weight loss tip, and in my mind the key to real weight loss motivation that will keep you moving forward long term.
So what are some small changes you can make? Well, instead of deciding that you’re going to immediately start going to the gym every single day, try going twice a week. Do that for a week or two, then up it to 3 times a week. Maybe it means not eating your normal snack on one day. Then up it to 2, then 3, etc. You see, as you make changes like that you will be more motivated to lose weight because you are making small successes each week.
If you keep this up, you’re bound to make the big changes - but over time rather than drastically all at once.
