Are you losing weight for yourself or for someone else?

Losing weight is no easy task. Many people have tried and failed. One of the main reasons for this failure is the fact the individual loses weight for someone else. What we mean by this is that as a result of someone else’s words or actions the individual may start to lose weight. Now this can have a varying effect depending on who is directing the words. This usually happens when a partner makes a comment on their partner’s weight. The result is the person goes to extreme levels to lose weight, initially loses it but then puts it all back on. The same if something is said at work, or by a friend. The key factor here is that the individual is not losing weight for themselves. Only losing weight to please other people is problematic. To really change your life and to make a commitment to weight loss you first need to want to lose weight for yourself. But you need to really want it. You need to want it that much that it becomes one of your main priorities. This will then stop it being overtaken by your busy schedule. Then that Monday evening run is no longer dropped at short notice for a meal out with a friend. So ask yourself the question who have I started this weight loss journey for? If the answer is not for yourself then our wasting your time. Once you commit to weight loss, and want it badly you will be surprised how easy it can be.
