Wedding Day Motivation for Weight Loss

What do you want to accomplish? If you want to loss 100# for the big day, break this into monthly obtainable goals. (Talk to your dietitian and doctors about what is realistic for your weight loss.) Then write out a healthy eating and exercise plan with specific details. For example, I will eat 3 meals a day with lean protein, low carb choices. I will walk for 30 min. 4x/week. Make sure that you go about it the right way rather than another crash diet. Successful weight loss requires a lifestyle change.
For motivation, visualize how you will look in your dress (or tux) that day, dancing, in photos, greeting family and friends that you haven’t seen in a while. Think beyond your appearance to having confidence and energy throughout big day. Also focus on your long-term goals – growing older with your spouse, being active with your new family, staying free of or improving medical problems. Start practicing healthy habits now that will last a lifetime.
