Get Inspired

Inspi­ra­tion is usu­ally hard to come by, but when your want­ing to lose weight it really, really helps moti­vate you. Have you ever been sit­ting watch­ing tele­vi­sion or even brows­ing the inter­net when you have seen some­one who is skinny or fit in gen­eral doing exer­cise or show­ing off what they can do with their fit­ness and all of a sud­den you get extremely excited and decide your going to do some­thing about your weight prob­lem and try and become like them. Believe it or not this is called inspiration.

I remem­ber watch­ing the dis­cov­ery chan­nel one night with my dad who at the time was over­weight and in the obese range when some­one was on the tele­vi­sion from some­where in south amer­ica, it might of been brazil. The per­son was run­ning and it was a gen­eral doc­u­men­tary about well.. I cant even remem­ber, all I remem­ber is some­one was run­ning and my dad became inspired by it and decided he would start run­ning again as he was for­merly in the mil­i­tary and was fit how­ever once he left and got to the forty mark he soon piled on the pounds due to red­bull and choco­late binges etc. Although this inspi­ra­tion moti­vated my dad he ended up fail­ing to act on it but was even­tu­ally inspired by one of his friends and he now has lost over 40kg and is again fit enjoy­ing his health to its full potential.

If it wasnt for inspi­ra­tion then he prob­a­bly wouldnt of taken action over his weight. Other exam­ples of inspi­ra­tion although not weight loss inspi­ra­tion include music artists etc who say cer­tain other artists were their inspi­ra­tion. Other exam­ples include pol­i­tics and even face­book where it asks you who / what your inspi­ra­tion is.

If you want some inspi­ra­tion for los­ing weight, just take a look at tele­vi­sion shows such as the biggest loser and even the famous ‘sub­way guy’.
