Weight Loss- What It's All About

I want to make weight loss about something bigger than just looking better, otherwise it's not motivational enough for me. It's about self discipline, holding myself to a higher standard, getting in line with my high power, and showing others my impossible was made possible. Anyone feel me on this?

According to Psychology Today, weight loss needs to have an underlying motivation that will carry the participant through to completion. It cannot be superficial, and it helps to tie it to an emotion or other significant memory that will help to interfere with those stubborn binging tendencies. It is considered to be the single biggest factor in recovery from binging disorder for good.

What do you think about when you want to lose weight? What is an inspirational message/reminder that has carried you through to completing a significant goal in the past? The science of human behavior tells us that the messages we carry in our heads are what contribute to our decision making and overall well being. Let’s make sure that the thoughts that we are listening to are inspiring us to do better and be better.
