Make Weight Loss a Priority in Your Life
Wendy Hearn
How do you keep motivating yourself to lose weight when
everything seems fine in your life? Do you feel really
good about yourself? Do you ooze high self-esteem and bags
of confidence? Are you someone with a great career, a
wonderful social life and do you share fun with your children?
Do you feel great about your body? You have all these
wonderful things in your life and you're not necessarily a
stress eater, a comfort eater or eat in response to what's
going on around you. Although many people overeat in these
circumstances, there are some people who lead an almost perfect
life and aren't triggered to eat by such things. However,
you may still be overweight and want to lose it. It may well
be that it's not life's stresses which are causing you to eat,
so where do you go from here?
I would suggest that losing weight hasn't been a priority in
your life. It doesn't run your life, it isn't on your mind
all the time and although this is healthy, you may still not
have made it the priority it needs to be. When you make
something a priority in your life, it assumes extra significance
and becomes one of those 'important' areas of your life. For
whatever reason perhaps your health hasn't been 'important' to
you but other areas of your life have been. What happens is
that when many people attach little importance to something in
their lives, it comes lower down on the list of things to do.
If 'important' things aren't built into our lives sufficiently,
they can eventually become 'urgent'. It's like not paying a
bill when it first comes in and just leaving it until it gets
to the stage of being 'urgent'. It usually causes us more
problems to get it sorted out when it gets to that stage. When
your health and weight loss are not a priority and 'important'
in your life, this can be okay for a while or even for quite a
long time. However, for most people at some point it will
become 'urgent' and can't be ignored. This may be when you
have a heart attack, diabetes is diagnosed or your blood
pressure is far too high. These times are, for many people,
a wake-up call and they realise the need to give their health
and weight priority.
Avoiding the pain of ill health can motivate some people. They
make their health a priority in order to reduce the risks of
illness. They dread the pain associated with illness. However,
this doesn't motivate everyone. If moving away from potential
pain doesn't motivate you, then you may be motivated by moving
towards pleasure. What do we mean by pleasure? We mean all the
plus points, the benefits to you personally of losing weight.
These will vary from one person to another and may include
- Being very active with your grandchildren
- A sense of achievement from running a marathon
- Peace of mind knowing that you're giving your body optimum nutrition.
If you choose to make your weight and health a priority, what
do you see yourself gaining in your life?
The picture you need to paint for yourself must excite you.
It has to be so inspiring that you can use it again and again
to remind yourself of why you're making your health and weight
a priority.
