It’s hard to feel confident and attractive when you’re overweight. But as we all know, self-confidence is key to happiness. And the only way to find true happiness is by being healthy and happy with who you are now.

The problem is that it can be hard to stay motivated during a weight loss plan. There will always be days where everything goes wrong and it feels like you’re never going to lose the weight.

This is natural and happens to everyone, but that doesn’t mean you should give up! Losing weight fast isn’t easy, but these proven tips will help you get started or jump back on track. Follow this guide for a no-nonsense weight loss plan that will work for anyone!

Learn what makes you feel confident and attractive (or not), and read how some of the celebrities, models, and people who are really successful with weight loss have maintained their weight over the years. Enjoy!

You probably already know what to do to get the results you want. But sometimes it’s helpful to see the whole picture. Ask friends and family how they stayed consistent with their exercise and meal plan without giving up. See what they do differently than you to feel confident and attractive. Over time, these tips will help you build a sustainable weight loss routine that will help you reach your goals.

2. ADD MORE INTENTIONS TO YOUR DAY

ADD MORE INTENTIONS TO YOUR DAY

To take your weight loss to the next level, try starting with your intention. A normal day might look something like this: Wake up with a cup of coffee, log your workouts (see tip 1), eat lunch, and spend some time on social media.

Now, look at that normal day and how you can make it more consistent by putting an added intention in your day. If you are really frustrated with not losing weight, maybe you could instead take this extra 10 minutes to figure out what else you can do to stay committed. This simple change can build on itself and help you get to more serious weight loss goals faster!

3. LEARN FROM YOUR FAILURE

LEARN FROM YOUR FAILURE

Don’t get discouraged if something doesn’t go right or if you seem to be veering off course. What happened today and what you did yesterday don’t necessarily have to have a direct connection. When things aren’t working, look at all the different factors that caused it and learn from them (see tip 2).

This can help you fix or avoid issues in the future and keep you motivated to keep going. If you did something wrong, maybe you could learn from it in the future. Maybe it wasn’t your diet or your workout plan that did it, maybe it was something more subtle like stress at work or family drama. Focus on the positive, learn from your experience, and then move forward.

4. BE EXCITED TO LOSE WEIGHT

be excited to lose weight

When you’re excited about your weight loss, it makes it easier to see progress, which is what (most) weight loss plans need. Trying to lose weight quickly can be scary, but being scared isn’t going to get you anywhere. Instead, be proactive instead of reactive. It’s easier to be mad at your weight now than to feel helpless and stop right before you reach your goal weight.

MY TIP 1: Outlook is Everything

When it comes to managing your weight, what you think about matters. The reality is however that you can be successful and healthy on a physique you dislike — that’s why weight loss is about mind over matter. Being fearful of what others might think of you is the biggest obstacle preventing people from reaching their weight-loss goals. By thinking positively, there are no external tasks or mental stresses you have to fulfill, and you can work out to your heart’s desire. Think of weight loss as an uphill battle you can get over if you just give it your all.

MY TIP 2: Focus on The Process, Not The Result

The best way to lose weight is to work hard on a sustainable plan that includes small, consistent measures. You can’t expect to lose 30 pounds one month if you only focus on what you don’t like. Make calorie-counting your top priority, look for low-calorie options in restaurants, track macros in an app like MyFitnessPal and find a community online to support and motivate. Instead of worrying about what other people think, focus on results. Keep working toward your goals by being authentic and understanding that staying committed is difficult.

MY TIP 3: By Any Means Necessary

Sadly, there are some people who are afraid to lose weight — it sounds too naughty or too easy. If you fall into this group, then, by all means, use your weight loss as an excuse not to work out. But if you love working out, instead of avoiding it altogether, use it as an excuse to find some community on the internet or an accountability partner.

Just don’t use it as an excuse to avoid your healthy eating. Exercise plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, but if you hate strength training, it won’t work for you. A good analogy is a football and basketball. Both sports are physically demanding and a lot of fun, but you wouldn’t play football if you hated running. Pick one, and start the other. Doing both will create a more balanced and healthier lifestyle.

I hope this guide helps you find the motivation you need to make lasting changes in your weight-loss journey.
