Now that the easy part is over with, let’s get to the complicated part.

What stops you every day from sticking to a plan that you know will work. Is there a plan you’ve tried in the past that worked for as long as you did and only stopped when you stopped? There is for most of us.

Is there a plan that you never tried but you saw others try and watched them succeed but failed to take the plunge yourself?

What about the plan that just consists of common sense, the one where you eat less and workout more, have you pushed that plan aside like most of us have at some point or another?

These questions are not designed to criticize anyone who answers with a list of missed opportunities to lose weight, improve health and finally feel good about the way they look. No, that would be to chide most people who stumble across this webpage.

Instead, the questions are to show the common problems that plague many of us in our efforts to lose weight and keep it off. Motivation.

Don’t get put off by thinking of a self-proclaimed guru who preaches to an overly receptive audience. No, instead appreciate the word for what it really means, the internal energy that you need to propel yourself towards your goals everyday.

If you hold the answer to quick and effective weight loss. If you have already taken it off and therefore know a (healthy) plan that works, or if you have brought a book like the one listed above. Believe me when I tell you that you have all of the answers to the external things you need to do to lose weight.

Here, I encourage you to spend some time focusing on the internal things you need to do in order to succeed.

• 1) Write down your goals, make sure they are specific, measurable and include a time element
• 2) Post these goals in a visible place, stop and look at them throughout the day
• 3) Visualize your goal brought to life, see yourself as a person who actually does look the way you want to look

The third step is extremely important. One of the reasons weight loss attempts often fail is because of the constant negative reinforcements.

When people want to lose weight, we constantly steps on the scales and examine ourselves in front of the mirror. Because of the time involved in losing weight, all the person can see is little or no improvement.

This creates a harmful pattern of negative reinforcement. You constantly look in the mirror and see that you have, again, lost no weight. You begin to see yourself as a person who will always be fat, which becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy.

To break this negative pattern that keeps you wishing for weight loss, instead of attaining it, you absolutely must begin to see yourself as a person who can reach your weight loss goals.

Do yourself a favor and see something different the next time you step in front of a mirror, see yourself slim. See yourself the way you want to be and congratulate yourself before you even get there.

Instead of always reinforcing the feeling of failure, try to reinforce the feeling of success, even before you have actaully succeeded. This practice will work wonders on your confidence in your own ability to lose the weight you desire to lose.
