When it comes to losing weight, the hardest part is usually taking the first step and committing to a program. Finding the inspiration for weight loss can be as easy as listing the reasons and people your weight loss will impact.

Reasons to Lose Weight:

For Your Health

Obesity, unhealthy eating habits, and lack of physical activity can have a huge impact on your health, putting you at a higher risk for type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, coronary artery disease, stroke, sleep apnea, and hormone/fertility imbalances. Since waist size affects health problems, focusing on losing weight, especially in your midsection, can greatly reduce your risk of getting these conditions.

For Your Kids

Do you quickly run out of breath while playing with your kids? Have a hard time keeping up with them in general? Losing weight can mean longer, more fun trips to the park, zoo, etc. Not only is staying healthy important to keep in pace with your energetic kids, but promoting healthy lifestyle choices is key to teaching your kids healthy habits to last a lifetime.

For Your Spouse

Remember that line in your wedding vows, “’til death do us part?” Your significant other wants you around for a long, long time. Staying motivated to get in shape is even better when done together – set a goal and help keep each other inspired and on track!

For An Important Event

Class reunion? Summer vacation at the beach? Your wedding? Whatever the reason, getting into a smaller size for an upcoming event is great motivation because it helps you stick with short term goals while creating long term healthy habits.

For YOU

There’s no better inspiration for weight loss than making you feel good about yourself. Not only will weight loss improve your physical health, it improves self esteem, mood, and gives you a fantastic feeling of accomplishment when you meet your weight loss goals.
