Introduction
This Reddit user, savagestrudel, has shared her inspiring weight loss journey over the course of two years. In that period, she went from weighing 189 pounds to 149 pounds. In this article, we will explore the different tips and strategies she and other Reddit users recommend to stay motivated and overcome obstacles in the process of losing weight.
Revisit Your Motivation
As the journey gets tougher, savagestrudel recommends revisiting the motivation that got you started. For her, looking at clothes that used to not fit, watching a movie or reading a book that inspired her, or even buying a too-small dress that she wants to fit into, all help her stay motivated.
Create Lists and Check Them Off
Another recommendation from Reddit user myersfirebird is to create lists of the steps you need to take, put them in a visible place, and check them off as you complete them. A goal like "do it for my goals!" written on the list helps you stay focused and accountable.
Switch Up Your Routine
If your motivation is flagging, try switching up your routine, as suggested by Reddit user [deleted]. It could be something as simple as finding new recipes or trying a different type of exercise. This can help renew your interest and reignite your enthusiasm for your weight loss journey.
Fight the Monkey Mind
Reddit user Upset-Emergency5622 advises against letting your brain negotiate with you to slide. They recommend setting strict rules, such as forcing yourself to show up at the gym no matter what, or saying you'll walk 10 minutes on the treadmill before going back home. It's important to remember that making a little progress is better than giving up entirely. So, it's best to compromise and avoid the all-or-nothing mentality.
