Using Psychology
to Lose Weight
Along your weight-loss journey you are going to come across weight-loss difficulties (obstacles) that test your ability to get through them and keep going. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that these obstacles are primarily a test of your motivation.
Your motivation may not play the role you think it does. Instead, the resource you use may be ingenuity or creativity or skill, or maybe even a goal to succeed that gets triggered by the obstacle.
Next time you are facing something that is making it difficult to lose weight, see what enables you to get through it.
