Many say that losing weight is very tough for them and the extra kilos are piling up no matter what they do. Some feel that they aren't losing weight at all. If you are among those who feel that while others lose four kilos a month, and you are losing just two, don't give up. Self motivation is the key to losing weight.
Self motivation helps a great deal in weight reduction. If you are eating right, exercising enough and doing what all is required of you in order to lose weight, then you are on the right track. You just need to believe in yourself. Even if someone doesn't notice that you actually have lost weight, don't lose hope. Be truthful to yourself. You know you are losing weight, so keep up the good work.
Expecting others to motivate you to lose weight or noticing every time you lose some pounds is not right. Determine the objective of your weight loss program. Obviously you aren't losing weight for your neighbour. It is you who wants to lose weight and look fabulous; then it's important for you to notice the weight loss and not the whole world. The world will notice one day. You just need to follow what you have been doing up till now. The rest will follow.
Set goals for yourself. It is important for you to make realistic goals. Don't expect your body to lose 10 kilos in a week. Be patient. One thing that you must understand is that the amount of weight you lose and the speed at which you lose depends on a lot of factors. These factors are age, metabolism rate, how much overweight you are, how long you have been overweight, if you have any other health problems, diet and amount of physical workout.
Understanding your body is very important. Different people lose weight at different speeds. It also important to note that in the beginning stages when you have just started to lose weight you will notice that you are shedding kilos rather quickly later the speed slows down as the body gets immune to the weight loss program. A change in the program here and there might again speed up weight loss but expecting too much from your body is not good. You must remember the old adage here that says, "Rome was not built in day".
So if your weight loss program is succeeding reward yourself. Boost yourself by saying, "I have done a good job and I will not leave this spirit." If the weight loss isn't happening the way you wanted say, "The results will show. I won't give up." This is the true sportsman's spirit. Motivate yourself and the results will show.
