How can I have motivation too lose weight?
Losing weight is hard; it takes a lot of willpower. You need to be really motivated to lose weight successfully. You should write down the reasons why you want to lose weight and keep it somewhere you can see it every day. Get support from friends and family. They can help to reduce your temptation by not eating unhealthy food when they are around you. Make sure you plan ahead before you shop and make a list of what you intend to buy. Stick to this list when you are shopping and don’t buy anything on impulse. Buy healthier snacks to have available in the house e.g. rice cakes, carrots and cucumber to dip in low fat cottage cheese, sugar free jelly, popcorn, fruit, low fat yogurt. Also take a healthy snack with you when you go out, so that you aren’t tempted to buy an unhealthy snack. Cut down on alcohol as it increases your appetite and you will find it harder to resist temptation. Doing some physical activity in the day may reduce your feelings of temptation to eat unhealthy food. It
