How to make weight loss a priority


A priority is something we believe is more important than another thing. Why do we need to make something a priority? Priority helps us make daily choices that reflect our values.
If you look at every choice you have ever made in your life, you made those choices based on what was important and unimportant to you. What was more important versus what was less important. What you considered a high priority and what you considered a low priority. What you cared about and what you didn’t.
Our choices are based on what we want. Only when we want it we are truly motivated to go after it. What is it that we want? As practical as it might be, if it is important to us, then it is also motivating.
We love our food. We like our traditions. We have habits. We do not really want to change. When you determine that losing weight is more important than anything else, you will be able to make choices that lead to weigh loss and getting your life back.
Whatever it is that moves you, whatever it is that you so desperately want and desire, let it be the spark that fires you up to chase your weight loss goal and get your life back. Keep you “why” handy. What ever it is that moves you to take action, keep it fresh and in front of you as you make weight loss your priority #1.
It is like a cancer patient with one- or two-year life expectancy would do anything to live a little longer. When you faced with death, our comforts and wants and preferences do not seem as important as they once were.
Making weight loss a priority is the only way you will be able to get the permanent weight loss results you want!
It means working on your mindset every single day to ensure your thoughts are creating feelings that will drive actions to produce the results you want.
Are you currently living in a way that reflects weight loss as a top priority?

  1. Don't try to change everything at once. Prioritize. Pick one thing and stick to it.

  3. When you want to make changes to your life, it's important to know what's most valuable to you. To make sure you’re able to focus on your priorities it’s important you ask yourself the ‘why’ behind everything you do. Once you have a deeper understanding of why something is important to you, it makes it easier to follow through with getting it done.

  4. If you make something your top priority, you will do that - it's as simple as it sounds. Yet, if it was that simple, I suppose we all would be perfect people with slim bodies. I think the reason we don't proritize things is that we are either not conscious of those prorities we wanna make or that we are scared of commitment. Scared of failure. This kinda requires a deeper psychological work, but the first step is to let go of the fear and set your priorities straight.
