Reaching Your Goal in Weight loss: A State of Mind

The term ‘weight loss journey’ is used a lot, in the media, supplement companies, fitness blogs… So it’s time to ask ‘how long have you been on your weight loss journey?’. By ‘journey’ this could mean actively trying to be healthy and maybe tone up and lose a few pounds in the process. Maybe it’s thinking that one of these days you will actually join the gym and reach your weight loss goal. Then ask yourself ‘WHY am I still on a weight loss journey’. Answer: because you have not adopted the right mentality yet.
The world of health and fitness is full of misleading messages. Messages like ‘loose 20 pounds in 20 days NOW!’ or ‘build massive muscles while you sleep’ which are a) unrealistic and b) unhealthy, and sometimes even dangerous.
Reaching your goal, whatever is it, can be likened to building a house. Solid foundations, a sound structure and determination will help you get the body you’ve always wanted. In order to lose weight effectively it is important for a person to get into the proper weight loss mentality to build the foundations of their goal. This will ensure that they are in the right mind set required to follow the right workout program, stick to a proper diet plan and avoid any obstacles and temptations that prevent them from achieving the body that you have been dreaming of.
Quick fixes will waste your time and your money. If the label on the bottle is too good to be true, it probably is. If you're looking to supplement your diet try fat loss supplements to work alongside your healthy lifestyle regime. Reaching your goal takes time. Changing your lifestyle in small steps are achievable targets which will keep you motivated to the end goal. Make sure your goal is realistic, avoid targets like ‘I want to lose ten stone’. If you're concerned about your health, head to your local GP. They will help you set a target. Remember - a realistic goal is an achievable goal. You won’t reach your goal overnight. Hard work is rewarded, in this case with inches or pounds lost or gained. The hard work and dedication you put into reaching your goal will stay with you for the rest of your life if you want to maintain your goal permanently.
Finally, identifying any stumbling blocks in your new lifestyle regime will help you keep the mindset you need to reach your goals. It’s all too easy to give up at the first hurdle. This may be why your weight loss journey is taking longer than expected. By identifying the signs of your weakness, you can adopt a coping strategy which will keep the willpower and discipline you need to reach your goal.
