Motivation is not always easy to come by, and what you may be thinking and feeling one day, the other day you may not. Then it can be a case of going backwards and forwards regarding a diet change, yet there are methods out there that can help with your motivation.

If you’re keen to lose weight then regularly stepping on the scales ca ensure that you do not simply put your weight to the back of your mind, and by constantly being aware of how much weight you need to lose, you’ll become more motivated in the process.

Another method is by dieting with a friend. If you see your friend is doing well, and he or she sees that you’re doing well and working together, then you may feel more motivated to continue, whilst the competitiveness can ensure you stick to a diet.

Looking at old photographs can also be motivational, especially if you have images when you were at your ‘ideal’ weight, and it will show you that you do possess the ability and motivation to get back to that size.
