One of the reasons you might be lacking the weight loss motivation you need to get to your goal weight for good is because you don’t review your results weekly but instead, you are weighing yourself every day.
I’ve even had weight loss coaching clients who were weighing themselves Three Times A Day and literally driving themselves crazy. Weighing yourself more than once a week is a sure-fire way to:
- Make yourself crazy
- Make yourself completely obsessed with your weight
- Tie your identity to your weight
- Make your entire existence about your weight
- Drop your weight loss motivation level to the bottom of the barrel
There is absolutely no reason to weigh yourself daily because you can only review your results weekly at most.
Why?
Because when you measure a project, you must measure it with a measuring tool that matches the amount of time it takes to complete the project.
Daily Weight Loss Motivation: Review Your Results Weekly [Day Thirteen]
Weight loss is a Long Term Project. Even if you have only ten pounds to lose, you’re NOT going to get to your goal weight instantly. Therefore, you cannot measure your progress instantly.
You can wash a sink full of dirty dishes in an hour or so and then measure your progress instantly after you’re done. The measurement of that project fits how long it takes to complete the project.
You cannot do this with weight loss and if you do, then you’ll have zero weight loss motivation to keep going because you’ll be feeling depressed and hopeless about your results after measuring your results too soon.
If you don’t want to lose all motivation and feel completely hopeless about your weight loss then DON’T try to measure your results more than once a week. Only review your results weekly and when you weigh once a week be sure to use the right kind of scale like this one here so that you are measuring body fat percentage and more, not only the weight number on the scale.
To Sum Up
Developing weight loss motivation is not a quick fix instant magical “thing” you can step into and once you get the motivation you need to lose weight, you need to keep it going. Don’t squash it by measuring your progress multiple times a day or daily. Review your results weekly and stay consistent with portion control, eating whole foods, and eliminating processed, sugared, salted, highly addictive foods.
Keep in mind however, that you really need the right mindset to do all of this. Missing the right mindset is the number one reason you don’t feel motivated to lose weight.
Your mental, emotional, and Inner Self state must be addressed, up-leveled, and healed in order to gain full weight loss motivation and move into the struggle-free zone with your food and weight issues. Weight loss will NOT feel struggle-free when you don’t have the right mindset for it.
Mindset is 92.8% of what makes weight loss work, and the wrong mindset is 92.8% of what makes your weight loss a failure every time you attempt it. All weight loss is won (or failed) in the mind before you ever even get started.
If you want to ensure you WIN with your weight this time and you don’t gain it all back (plus an extra 20!) then you’ve gotta do something totally different than you’ve ever done before. Something that no food diet can help you with.
