Chapter 6: Frustrated – Motivated
back to previous pageprinter friendly pageemail this page
 

Frustrations are a part of the weight loss process. Having to deal with repeated failed attempts; not knowing what to do or try next; not being able to lose weight fast enough, or hitting a plateau are just a few of the more commonly cited frustrations. Whatever the reason, with weight loss, frustration is never a good thing. The two most common times of frustration are a sticking point (often called a plateau) or a back-slide (where the scale moves in the wrong direction—even when it is a small amount). Whether legitimate, like bloating or water retention during menstrual cycles, or self-inflicted by poor eating or lack of exercise, stalling, or back-sliding is emotionally deflating. Negative emotions lead to negative behaviors and further weight loss obstacles. A woman must quickly get herself re-motivated and back on track if she is to succeed. In this chapter the reader will learn:
  • Key tools and strategies that create accountability for ones’ weight loss goals.
  • How a body composition test can reveal your current health and help set goals.
  • How to check if you are in the healthy body fat range
  • The most popular strategies for getting re-motivated.
