"#8: You Lack Motivation
You hate working out, and your dieting food just doesn't hit the spot. You're not losing weight, and your motivation is at an all time low. I've noticed that one of the biggest factors in a lack of motivation is lack of results - either now or at some point in the past.
You probably tried diet and exercise in the past, and put in a lot of hard work, but your results were nothing to write home about. So how do you keep that fire burning?
- First, you get rid of your scale. If you're basing your progress on weight, you're going to be in for a big disappointment. One of
the biggest motivators is seeing your hard work is actually paying off.
- Try measuring your progress using body a fat caliper, tape measure, or by taking progress pictures. You are making progress -
even if your scale is telling you otherwise. Watching those numbers go down gives you the confidence that what you're doing is
working, and motivates you to push forward.
