I know some of you might want to lose weight, and that’s okay. But let’s get real for a minute - why do you really want to lose weight?

| Why are weight loss and fat loss important to you? |
No one puts “lose weight” on their resolution list every January just for the heck of it.
Let’s find the real reason this goal is important to you with the “5 Why Game.” For example…
- Q: What is your goal?
- A: To lose weight.
- Q: But why?
- A: Maybe it’s because you don’t have a roadmap that helps you create a plan of action
- Q: Ok, but why is that important?
Then ask why again. And again. And AGAIN. Usually when you have answered “why” for the fifth time, you’ll get to the real reason why you’re here. And that’s the answer we really need to know because it’s the root of the mission. You can use the “5 Why Game to help you dig deeper.
No one’s going to put in the work that’s required to lose weight and keep it off just for the sake of losing weight. They’re going to do it because they miss going out with friends and family; they hate that they feel uncomfortable when they see their friends or family they haven’t seen in a while; they hate feeling embarrassed when they can’t do things with family or friends at the beach or pool because they don’t look the same in the bathing suit.
Keep your why at the forefront of your mind when you’re pursuing weight loss. It’ll be the driving force that keeps you going when you get frustrated, tired, and ticked off at the process. And then every time the apathy monster rears its ugly head, remind yourself WHY you’re doing it in the first place.
Why are weight loss and fat loss worth it to you?
