Even on the most popular diets you will find this temporary loss and return with a vengeance effect. This is because most diets are designed to give you a good weight loss in the first few weeks. Mostly because the majority of these diets cause you to lose body fluids and not fat, which is actually dangerous. Then after your body adjusts to the new diet, or you stop the diet program, your fluids return and add to the fat you were trying to lose. It is at this point you will probably find the scales now weigh you heavier than when you started the diet! The only winner in the end is the company selling you their expensive dieting products.

With so many negatives, you may now ask yourself, Why should I start dieting?. Well, the good news is, once you have found a sensible diet that works, all you need is to stay on it and keep your motivation and keep a vision on your goals. Even on good diets, we still find people losing their own personal motivation and getting off track. Therefore, it is important to have a vision right now, even before you begin your diet to have a focus of where you want to be.

Examine your lifestyle and select your specialized reasons for dieting. You should be hard on yourself. Understand the need to lose weight instead of reasons you want to lose weight. You need to find reasons to really push your emotions. Here’s a list of motivators.

Self-confidence related. I always feel that everyone is looking at me or pointing at me. My weight makes me feel depressed. I don’t feel comfortable going to the beach. I lose weight I want to look the best I can for my wedding day. Seat belts don’t fit. People have thought I was pregnant.

Personal. I find it difficult to get dressed. I waddle when I walk. I have swollen feet. My weight is causing me back problems. I feel tired all the time. I get sick more easily than most people. I feel tired all the time.

Relationships. No one wants to date me the way I look. My relationship is suffering because of my lack of sex drive. My partner just broke up with me.

By now you should have a list of your reasons for needing to lose weight. List all that are appropriate from the above list and create at least 3 more of your own reasons. Do this now. Taking action immediately is absolutely crucial. Chances are if you don’t take action now, you aren’t serious and you are wasting your own time.

This minute and the next minute and the next hour and the next day are going to be much different from before. Now is the time when you’re going to begin on the path towards the person you want to be! Only you can take good care of yourself, will you be healthy in the future?
