I went to the gym this morning and did an hour, I followed Ken in and I remarked that I was still trying to make up for lost days, Monday and Wednesday, his advice was not to worry about trying to make up days of rest, but to just keep the diet clean. It's all about the diet. So I took his advice today and only did an hour. Hopefully the rain will stop and we can do some walking this weekend between rains.
Motivation and modification
There are many factors in a persons life which act as a driving forces behind their behavior. Motivation plays an important part in weight loss plans. Keeping on track and fostering a positive response to the gains made. Motivation is not a straightforward task and involves many such expectations, past experiences current lifestyles, needs, biology and more.
Some factors that alter our behavior include:
- Unfulfilled needs, for example the desire to feel attractive can be a more powerful need than the need to simply lose weight and live healthy
- What you expect, will occur as a result of their behavior, for example the loss of weight but also the gaining of energy and self-confidence from adhering to the program or what rewards a you expect from attaining set goals
- An individual's sense of control over their life can greatly influence their expectations of success, for example a person who believes much of what happens to them in life is by good luck or bad luck generally feels that they have little control over their lives and may experience failure more often
- Your experiences from the past; many dieters have negative feelings from past attempts
- The social and sociological influences in your life (culture, family, education, and groups they belong to): the support of family and friends can be crucial
- Your personality may influence eating habits and other behavior: for example an introverted person is more inclined to stay at home, watch TV and be more sedentary, all factors associated with being overweight.
