Motivation - the missing ingredi
t’s May at last and as we leave those damp winter
months behind our thoughts turn to summer
holidays and how we’re going to have to expose
more skin. We need to start by losing a few
pounds.

Personal Development Coach, Carolyn Trafford
explains why motivation is the most important
ingredient in any diet.
Speaking to Leek Life Carolyn explained: “There
are some fantastic commercial diets out there, but
they all focus on one aspect of weight loss and that
often involves cutting out something we love.
“Having to give up something we enjoy when
dieting can make the process of losing weight more
stressful and difficult and can result in us returning
to bad habits after we’ve achieved weight loss and
piling the pounds back on again. We can set
ourselves up to fail.
“It’s no secret that we lose weight when we
increase exercise levels and maintain a healthy and
balanced diet. For long term, lasting results, a good
dose of motivation is required as well. When our
motivation waivers, then its difficult to stick to our
new healthier regimes.
“My tip is to imagine what it would look or feel
like to have achieved your weight loss goal.
Imagine the compliments, imagine proudly
