For a lot of us weight loss is a constant struggle. You go through periods of being really motivated, and focused, and then slip and feel like you have blown it. Believe me, I know because I have been there. The tipping point for me was when I changed the way I thought about weight loss.

The key to staying focused on losing weight was to remind myself daily what my ultimate goal was. For me that ultimate goal was to be healthier so I could be around longer for my kids. Heart disease runs in the family and I knew that being overweight was not going to prolong my life. The thought of missing out on my kids going up was enough of a goal for me to maintain focus.

Once I found my focus, I spent a little bit of time each day reminding myself why I was eating better. Why I was at the gym when I would have rather been anywhere else. With my goal came focus, and with focus came purpose.

I found that I immediately had a "reason" not to have that cake, or not to skip a day at the gym. All it took was adjusting my attitude and getting fit because I wanted to, not because I felt I had to.

Try it, find your purpose for losing weight, and then your focus. Spend some time each day remembering why you want to loose weight, and remind yourself again when you are tempted to stray. It worked for me, and may work for you too.
