Episode 19: When the Lights Go Down in the Stadium

What motivates you to continue doing what it takes to maintain your healthy lifestyle after losing weight? And what does the title of today’s episode, “When the Lights Go Down in the Stadium” have to do with maintaining weight loss? Listen as I present an introduction to the topic of motivation and how some people relish the attention they receive as they lose weight. While not everyone enjoys being noticed, some people treasure the nearly daily comments they receive about how amazing they look as they are losing weight. They bask in the joy of hearing how inspiring they are to others. They soak up the feedback related to their improvements in self-confidence and overall demeanor. But when they get to a healthy weight, they sort of blend into the crowd and for them, it can be like when the lights go down in the stadium. There’s no more fanfare. The compliments fade. It’s quiet. Some people then feel invisible so they repeat the cycle of regaining and losing weight, not realizing how important that external motivation is for them. Where does your motivation come from?
