Determine Why You Want to Lose Weight

"Sometimes people can feel unmotivated because they lose sight of why they're making changes in the first place". says Edwina Clark, R.D., head of nutrition and wellness at Yummly.

Make clear and write down all of the reasons you want to lose weight. This will keep you focused and motivated to achieve your weight-loss objectives. Try to read them every day and use them as a reminder when you're tempted to drop your weight-loss goals.Preventing diabetes, keeping up with grandchildren, looking your best for an event, enhancing your self-confidence, or fitting into a certain pair of jeans might be among your reasons. Many people begin losing weight because their doctor advises them to, but research suggests that people are more likely to succeed if their desire for weight loss comes from inside.
