A Motivation Story of How I Dropped The Pounds Quickly
I wanted to lose weight so bad in high school. They use to say things like she's fat or someone get a harpoon! I couldn't believe it. I was so hurt emotionally that it actually caused me to go on an eating binge and gain more weight.
I was trying so hard to fight it but no matter what I did I just couldn't lose the weight. And on top of that I was constantly being called names on a daily basis. The emotional stress was unbearable. I would lock myself in the room all day after school and go for hours without eating. I later found out that not eating when your overweight actually caused me to gain more weight to because your body stores fat - thinking that it's going to go for long periods without food.
Update - a few years later I was still at the same weight. I wasn't feeling as bad because I wasn't in school anymore but I still hadn't lost any weight. I wasn't getting teased anymore but I still felt the anxiety at times that I felt in school because people were still looking at me. Even thought they never said anything, I could always feel what they were thinking when I walked by.
When I got home I didn't binge as much because over the years I had learned that by eating less portions more often would help me to lose weight. Well...it didn't really help me to lose weight but, at least it sustain it. Occasionally I would still lock myself in the room on days when I was feeling down and just listen to music. It was the only thing that really comforted me "besides food."
Then something funny happend - because when I started to hear my favorite songs (like Van Halen's "Living On a Prayer") I started to feel motivated. Something seemed different. Then I got this crazy Idea. I started making a list of all of my favorite songs and put them on a CD. When ever I would feel down, I'd listen to it.
Then I it hit me. When ever I listened to my CD for some reason I wasn't depressed anymore because for some strange reason my favorite songs took away my pain. So I tried an experiment. I decided to give weight loss another try because of my new found motivation.
It was unbelievable. I would go to the gym for hours and didn't care what people said or how they looked at me. I didn't even get tired. Not with my music behind me. It was like the music had formed a special shield around me protecting me from the outside world. I'd lost over 47 pounds in 3 months. That's more than 15 pounds a month and almost 4 pounds a week!
I know that this may not be your typical overnight weight loss success story, but this that much weight that quickly was fast enough for me.
So there's my secret. All I did was get a list of my favorite songs (that motivated me) and listen to them while I worked out. You should try it. You'll be amazed with the results. The key is to make sure that every song is motivational because it helps push you workout harder from one song to the next.
Since then I've become an interent marketer part time and have made a blog to help others lose weight too. I joined this program and I'm happy to say I lost another 12 pounds.
I was tired of so many people getting ripped off on the internet with expensive weight loss products so I decided to spread the word about this program . If your interested you can check it out here: http://affordableweightlossblog.blogspot.com/
Remember you don't need expensive weigth loss programs , pills , foods or ebooks to help you lose weight quick- all you really need is a little motivation.
Cheers
