When you’re looking in the mirror and decide you want to lose weight, the key to being successful in your weight loss journey is to know this: what is your why? Your why is THE reason for wanting to achieve a goal. Your why is your core motivation because it connects you to what fires you up most.
A WHY isn’t a one size fits all thing. What motivates someone else may not get you off the couch so let’s find out what your why is and give you some tips on how to stay committed.
What Is Your Why?
The key to determining your why is to ask yourself: Why do I really want to lose weight? Why is it important to me? If your WHY motivates you toward weight loss, go with it.
How to find your why for weight loss? If weight loss is your goal, do you know why you want it? If you can’t immediately answer that question right here, right now (and honestly!) you are unplugged from your most natural and powerful motivation source—YOU.
Journaling Your Why
Write down your WHY and keep it somewhere you can see it daily. Maybe your WHY is “Look good in photos at my friend’s wedding.”

Renewing Your Why…Often!
