Finding motivation is tough. But if you are dedicated to the prospect of certain body type for your wedding day then you are of the right mindset for bridal weight loss. The largest and toughest battle you will face is with your own self. By preparing yourself mentally to seek the large and small goals you set then and only then can you achieve the end result.
A few tips for attaining that success.
1. Write down your goal and share it with someone you respect. Without something concrete to look at and quantify it is easy to falter and fall off the path. By having someone who you respect aware of your goal you will have an obligation to not only yourself but to them as well.
2. Start with the end first. Picture where you want to be and what you want to look like in your mind. Visualize the small details. The way the dress feels on your skin, the air outside and how you feel then write down your end bridal weight loss goal. If it’s 30 pounds in 3 months then put that down. Below it write: 10 pounds a month. Below that write: 2.5 pounds per week. Below that write: .36 pounds per day. Figure out then what you would have to do to lose .36 pounds per day. Start there. With small goals achieved every day it would be impossible for you to NOT reach your ultimate goal…
3. Eliminate “try” from your vocabulary. Say I will or I won’t. Trying implies that you might or you may and give’s you an opportunity to lie to yourself. Have you ever said “I’ll try and come to the gym.” or “I’ll try and workout tonight”. What happens? You don’t go and you’ve given yourself an excuse by saying that you’re busy but you ‘tried’ to go. Say you will and you will.
4. Try listening to audiobooks. You can find a great selection at http://www.audible.com There are literally thousands of books that you can listen to in your spare time, while driving or walking on a tread mill that will inspire you and help you reach your goals!
