Motivation and challenges in weight
When we find ourselves carrying some extra kilo’s, it’s natural to wonder what could possibly motivate us to lose weight. Shedding those extra kilos can often feel daunting, but it’s important to remember that every journey starts with a single step. Setting realistic and achievable goals is essential, as is finding a source of motivation that genuinely resonates with you.
The answer often lies in the question we ask our clients: “What is the reason for you wanting to lose weight?” The responses to this question are as varied as the individuals themselves, with common answers including ‘to improve my health’, ‘to fit back into my clothes’ and ‘to feel better’…..
These individual motivations highlight how personal the weight loss journey can be—whether it’s about boosting your wellbeing, regaining confidence in your favourite outfits, or simply wanting to feel more energetic in everyday life. Whatever your reason, it’s crucial to keep that personal goal front of mind, as it can help you stay focused and push through when things get tough. All of these reasons serve as good incentives to lose weight, because at the end of the journey, there is a goal to be achieved.
Overcoming challenges along the way
Losing weight comes with its own set of challenges, and making changes is not always easy. Life continues to happen, and sometimes our plans are disrupted by work schedules, stress, relationships, birthdays, social functions, and other commitments. It is important to remember the significant benefit of losing unwanted weight at the end of the journey.
The process is much like taking a road trip; when we start, we may not realise there are roadblocks ahead. Encountering such obstacles doesn’t mean we need to turn back to the starting point—it simply means we should slow down, find a way around the block, and not lose sight of our ultimate goal. Sometimes, reaching the goal may take another week or two longer, but this is minor in the broader scheme of things.
Believe in yourself and try not to be too hard on yourself along the way.
