If you have been focusing purely on losing weight and struggling it may be that very focus that is holding you back.
When you focus solely on weight loss it can play havoc with your mindset. For many people, it can be demotivating and even self-destructive. You start with exercise as a punishment for what you ate rather than a celebration of what your body can do.
So how do you succeed and make a life-long transformation? You stop focusing on weight loss and start focusing on becoming the best version of yourself.
This means focusing on:
Getting stronger
Getting fitter
Getting healthier
And becoming a better athlete
It does not matter your starting point. Even if you have never picked up a weight or been for a run before. Make the above your prime focus.
When you focus on trying to get stronger, more athletic and becoming the best version of yourself it changes everything.
You will actually reach your goals faster. You gain more muscle; you lose more weight and you stay motivated for longer. The best part is you fall in love with your body and start to celebrate what it can do.
So, if you are struggling with your motivation this year.
Stop focusing on losing weight!
Start focusing on being the best version of yourself.
