Introduction
Many people struggle to stay motivated when it comes to weight loss. This is especially true on the weekends, when the temptation to relax or indulge can be high. One reddit user, F/22/5'5", has experienced this firsthand, but is still making progress towards her weight loss goals.
The Starting Point
At the beginning of her journey, this user weighed 235lbs. She has since lost 20lbs and is now at 215lbs, only a month later. While progress like this is encouraging, she admits that motivation can be hard to come by on weekends, when she would rather be doing other things than hitting the gym.
The Importance of Small Changes
Despite her motivation struggles, this reddit user has found ways to make small changes that add up over time. She credits meal prep, portion control, and daily workouts during the week for helping her lose weight. This shows that even if you can't find motivation for big gym sessions, small changes in your daily routine can still make a big difference.
The Power of Positive Self-Talk
One thing this reddit user does to stay motivated is remind herself of why she started her weight loss journey in the first place. She encourages other aspiring weight loss individuals to do the same. Additionally, she reminds herself of the progress she has made so far rather than focusing on what's left to be done. A positive mindset can go a long way in staying motivated.
Conclusion
While it can be hard to stay motivated, this reddit user's progress shows that it's possible to overcome motivation struggles and achieve your weight loss goals. By making small changes in your daily routine, reminding yourself of your reasons for starting, and keeping a positive mindset, you can make progress towards your goals. Try out these tips for yourself and see what works best for you!
