Motivation to Lose Weight




                                                                 Motivation to Lose Weight
When you are diabetic you have probably read in many places and have
 heard from your doctor how beneficial it is for you to lose weight.  But that 
doesn’t make it any easier to do.  It is difficult to do, but everyone is right; 
you will reap many benefits from losing weight including managing your
 diabetes and blood glucose levels.

If you are already motivated to lose weight and just don’t know where 
to begin, make an appointment with your doctor or diabetes educator.
  They can provide you with information on a healthy eating plan and 
approve the type of exercises you should begin with.  
Getting the okay from your doctor before starting any physical routine 
is a good 
idea so you do not over-do it at the beginning creating more harm than good.
If you have tried to lose weight before and know that it is a hard road, 
you may find the motivation you need through a support group.  
Having a network to back you up when you are having a hard day or 
the commitment of meeting someone at the gym can get you 
through the rough patches ahead.

As you reach certain milestones in your weight loss journey set reward
 points for yourself as motivation.  You may decide to reward yourself 
when you lose 10 pounds or it might be going for a walk 5 times in one week – 
whatever you need help with.  Your reward can be anything that will make 
you work harder – renting a movie, a new pair of shoes – make it special.

As you continue to lose weight and become more active keep a careful eye 
on your blood sugars and insulin requirements.  You may find that you are 
requiring less insulin as you drop the pounds.  Keep in contact with your 
doctor and update him on your progress.
