What triggers a person to want, I mean really want to lose weight? When Will and I decided to take this journey of a lifestyle change seriously you couldn't get me off my soap box about weight watchers. I truly believed in what were set out to accomplish. I was ready, beyond ready!! I believe you have to be mentally ready first....no one can do it for you!!
With that said...what can get you mentally ready? A trip to the doctor and a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes or heart disease. Parents who cannot participate in family life. A desire to be able to play with your kids. Or negative experiences, such as trying to squeeze into an airline or movie theater seat, buying extra large-sized clothing, or no longer being able to wear your wedding ring. The psychological impact of feeling inferior because of size or any of the stigmas associated with overweight people can be powerful motivators to get down to a healthier weight. Find what motivates you!!!
When weakness sets in (and it will) remember what those motivators are and get your head back in the game. Every week when you weigh in anything, and I do mean anything with a minus in front is a great week. I remember the first holiday season I was on weight watchers I lost .2 every week from Thanksgiving to the 10th of January. It all added up!! One pound at a time YOU CAN DO IT!!
