Episode 23: Boosting Your Weight Loss Motivation

This episode discusses motivation for weight loss, specifically how most people tend to have a spontaneous, pain-based motivation that doesn't last long. Instead of trying to motivate yourself with extrinsic factors, it's better to look toward something with intrinsic value that has been successful in overcoming other obstacles. Examples include being a good parent, being a good partner and being successful professionally. Understanding why you are motivated in other areas of life, you can apply that motivation to losing weight.
