like all good therapy, you won't achieve the goal unless it's something you choose for yourself. Often we find ourselves saying things that are counter-intuitive to our actual aspirations.
I want to lose weight. But how much is that statement because you wanted it for yourself? Is the motivation of looking great in such an such a dress or looking great for so and so a guy? would the loss be worth it if that's the case? And more importantly, can the loss be sustained if that were the only/main motivator. If you gained the weight back, would you really look all that hideous in the dress? would the person you're trying to impress not like you when you've gained the weight?
If you want it bad enough, you can do it. Do you want it so badly that you'd sign a contract with the devil to get what you want if it were the only way to get to the goal you wanted?
I guess motivation is a little different for everyone. To me, I think true motivation comes from a place of desperation. I've lost 3 lbs in 2 weeks. yeah yeah, only 3 lbs....but whatever the case, i'll take it. It's about eating better, exercising more. It's about feeling good for who You are...NOT how you look for someone else.
Like any sort of goal, there will be days where we fall short. In all actuality, weight loss is behaviour modification at it's finest.
anyways, i'm sick of writing this topic already. I'm getting really anxious about teaching. what's worst, I have a MASSIVE splitting headache! I'm totally angry at the teacher whose class i'm supposed to teach for the first hour and a bit....ergs...
