Will power seems to be the biggest challenge for people wanting to lose weight. This is why there are weight loss meetings and groups that helps each other to overcome the urges to eat foods that are causing you to gain weight.

So, how do you increase your will power and get the fat loss that you want?

Let’s start by asking yourself, “What do you want?” What is your goal? Do you have a definite fat loss goal or do you just want to lose some weight? It’s important to be specific. It is also just as important to write it down.

Next, you need to find yourself a motivational will power aid. Something that will drive you towards your goal. Is there something that you would NEVER eat? What is the most disgusting food that you think would make you sick just thinking about eating? How about a can of some wet dog or cat food? This does it for many people because the smell itself makes many people cringe.

Last, you need a friend who will hold you accountable to your goal. You and a friend can also hold each other accountable if your friend also wants to lose weight.

Now you simply ask your friend to hold you accountable to your weight loss goals or you hold each other accountable. If you do not succeed you will have to eat that disgusting food in front of your friend.

People will always say they don’t have the will power but you need to make it painful enough to tell your will power “I will succeed” and your will power will comply. Your brain does not like pain and the pain of eating that disgusting food will over power the pleasure of eating that fattening dessert.

The key to making this work is that you must choose a food that you would never eat. If you choose a food that you might be okay with eating then this will not work. You are giving yourself a way out. You must pick a disgusting food. If you don’t then you’re not serious about losing weight.
