When your motivation to lose weight and stick to your weight loss program is high, everything seems easy. You can say no to that cupcake and be safe in the knowledge you are making the best decision for your body and your future. But when things aren’t going so well, you are feeling tired and your motivation seems to be at an all-time low, finding your motivation to stick to your diet seems almost impossible. Here are some of our best tips to help you maintain your motivation and reach your goal weight.
Use Social Media
If you don’t have motivation, then seek it from others. Start a daily picture diary on Instagram or Twitter and share your progress. Your photographs will not only inspire yourself, but it will also motivate others as well. Over time you will start to see the difference in the pictures you take and it will only encourage you to try harder.

Partner up with a Friend
Losing weight with a friend makes it twice as easy. When one person is feeling deflated, the other can seek to spur you on. And vice versa. It will renew your focus and ensure you stay on track. If you plan to exercise,do it together. If you want to go out and celebrate a special event, do it together. It will help you make the best choices for the pair of you.
Reward Yourself
Give yourself a small reward each time you lose 10 pounds. Set yourself a goal and then treat yourself to something. A manicure. A new hair color. A new outfit. Something that will enhance the new you and make you look and feel great. It can be easy to be dragged down by the negativity of your current weight. Keep your sights firmly set on your future goals rather than the past.
Write Down Your Goals
Purchase a special journal or notebook and write down your goals and your whys – the reason you wanted to lose weight in the first place. Litter your book with positive thoughts and read it as often as you need. Don’t forget the off-scale wins like gaining confidence, getting fit and improving your stamina.
Create a Routine
Create a healthy routine and stick to it. If you know you are going to walk on Tuesdays and Thursdays and weigh in on Monday, then make that your schedule. Pre-prepare your lunches on Sunday and go to bed at a reasonable hour each night. If you have a solid routine in place, even when your motivation drops, your routine might be enough to get you through until you feel more confident about yourself.
Be Realistic
If you expect to lose 30 pounds in one month, then you need to understand that your aims may be unrealistic. Slow and steady will win the weight loss race. The pounds are likely to stay off longer if you focus on new lifestyle patterns rather than just a quick fix. Weight loss clinic such as FIT Medical Weight Loss help you lose weight and maintain your ideal weight in the long-term.
