Find Your Inspiration to Succeed with Lipotropic Injections
September 2012
When it comes to weighing the success of your weight loss program, it’s important to find motivation beyond the scale to remain on track with your weight loss goals. If your medical weight loss program includes lipotropic injections, remember to focus on the behaviors necessary to achieve a healthy weight rather than the number of pounds you’re looking to lose. The truth is that you have more control over whether or not you engage in healthy behaviors on a regular basis rather than what number the scale is going to project back at you every day.
There are many factors that can affect that number on the scale such as biological functions, hormonal fluctuations and hydration. Despite even your best healthy efforts, some weeks the number on the scale may not move as much as you’d like. You are more likely to stick with healthy behaviors long-term if you tie your feelings of weight loss success to those behaviors that lead to a healthy weight. Talk with your weight loss doctor to determine the healthy behaviors you need to adopt to stay on track with your weight loss goals. Once you’ve begun implementing your healthy behaviors, it’s important to stay inspired along your journey. Here are some helpful ways to remain inspired for weight loss as you work towards your health goals.
Write about your journey. As you begin your journey to unleash the healthier you, write down everything you wish to achieve. Open your mind and think beyond the number of pounds you wish to lose. Instead, ask yourself questions such as how do I want my life to look and what will I do with my newfound confidence to really unravel the deeper meaning for your desire to lose weight and get in shape. If you have established a mantra for weight loss, try writing this mantra down in your notebook or day planner once a day so you can refer to it in times of need.
Surf the web for inspiring stories. The Internet abounds with endless healthy living and weight loss success stories. You can use online resources such as blogs or forums to find inspirational tips and advice that can help you remain motivated for you own personal journey to weight loss success. Better yet, create your own online blog with your personal account of your weight loss journey. Writing down your thoughts and feelings concerning what works and what doesn’t is a great way to remain focused and on track with your weight loss goals.
Join a weight loss support group. Sometimes the best advice doesn’t come from an online source (except for this one of course)! You can attend a weight loss support group that your medical weight loss doctor will suggest for you. Together you can share stories of successes and failures that may help serve as motivational sources for one another. When you surround yourself with the support of others who have similar goals and interests as yourself, you tend to feel more inspired and encouraged to see your weight loss goals to the end.
Inspiration for weight loss and getting in shape comes in many different forms. What inspires you may not work the same for another person. Sharing your thoughts, ideas and concerns about your health and wellness—either with yourself or others—is a great way to stay inspired for success and on track with your individual goals.
