Day 1: Find Your Real (Not Pretend) Motivation | 30-Day Weight Loss-athon
Welcome to Day 1 of the 30-Day Weight Loss-athon! Let the fun begin. 
We only have 10 minutes, so Iām going to get straight to todayās action task. This task will provide fuel to fire your motivation for the month ahead. I suggest you read through the steps first, then take 10 minutes to work through the steps.
And because we only have 10 minutes, you need to move fast, act quickly and stop over-thinking. Just throw yourself in. Ready?
What You Need:
- 52 Weight Loss Missions sample
- Pen
- Paper
- Several post-its.
Step 1
Remember the 52 Weight Loss Missions sample you downloaded? If you havenāt already, please read pages 6, 7 and the top of page 8.
These pages talk about your genuine, fire-in-the-belly motivation for losing weight. Not why other people want you to lose weight. Not why you think you should lose weight. But the desire deep inside you. This is what we want to uncover.
Step 2
Write at least 20 endings to the sentence below. Write fast. Donāt censor yourself. Let your pen go where your critical, analytical mind might not let you.
I want to lose weight becauseā¦
Step 3
Now read back over your answers and pick one or to two that excite you.
Donāt be surprised if they arenāt the reasons youāve been giving yourself for losing weight. If youāve struggled to lose weight, then thereās a good chance your supposed reasons are not very powerful.
What youāve just uncovered is a powerhouse of motivation. Letās make sure we use itā¦
Step 4
Write the exciting reason(s) from Step 3 on some post-its, and put them in several places youāll see them regularly, eg:
- On your bathroom mirror
- In your wallet
- In your diary
- On your computer
- On the fridge door.
Let these reminders of your real motivation drive you over the next month.
Check in!
And youāre done! Be sure to leave your comment below to check in and stay accountable.
See you back here tomorrow.

This was very tough for me. It took me way longer than 10 minutes to come up with 20 reasonsā¦.Iām feeling so down about myself that I canāt think why losing weight even matters
However, I found reasons, and am off to get post-its.
