Weight Loss Motivation:
The Carrot or The Stick?

Your weight loss motivation can dwindle unless you understand what moves you to take action.

It helps to understand if you are motivated by the carrot or the stick.

The Carrot

If you are motivated by the carrot, then
you think in terms of moving towards your goal. You find your goals exciting and look forward to achieving them.

You will be looking forward to how great you will look and feel. You’ll be thinking about how it will feel to have loose fitting pants.

Ask ‘Why is losing weight important to you?’ and you will likely hear:

  • "I’ll be able to buy new clothes in a smaller size"

  • "People will notice how great I look"

  • "I’ll have more energy"

We often see ‘carrot’ people as seeing life through rose colored glasses. They tend to look at the good and ignore any potential problems. They can be perceived as being naïve by others.

The Stick

Not everyone is motivated by moving towards a goal. Some are motivated by moving away from the stick. If this sounds like you, you will be moved to action when there is a problem to be solved. Deadlines are your friend and threats work really well.

You’re concentrating on how you feel right now. You’ll be thinking about how you will avoid a heart attack… or how your pants are too tight.

Ask ‘Why is losing weight important to you?’ and you will likely hear:

  • "I won’t have to squeeze into my pants anymore"

  • "I want to get rid of my gut"

  • "I want to prevent a heart attack from happening

The ‘stick’ people are often too focused on problems. They tend to drop their priorities and focus their attention on the crisis of the day. They can be perceived as cynical by others.

The Carrot AND the Stick

Some are a little bit of both. This type of person is in the minority. You’ll hear them say something like ‘My clothes won’t be tight anymore and I’ll get to buy new ones’.

What to Do?

So why do you want to lose weight? Is it because your clothes are too tight or because you want to look good? Determine what your weight loss goals are and then…

If you are a ‘stick’ person, tell yourself: ‘You won’t get anywhere if you don’t have a goal’.

If you are a ‘carrot’ person, tell yourself: ‘My goals will take me where I want to go.’

Combine these statements with your specific goals and repeat them often. It’s a form of self hypnosis that will help to keep you on track to achieving them so you won’t be stuck where you are.
