Health is the key to a happy life. It is important to stay
healthy and maintain an ideal weight so as to enjoy the many benefits life
bestows upon you. If you let go, however, and get sucked into the abyss of
unhealthy lifestyle and junk food, not only do you set yourself up for the many
illnesses that can attack you, but it can have a bad effect on your mental
health as well. It is important therefore, to give yourself whatever incentive
and motivation works best for you and gets you moving along the path to weight
loss! How you lose weight is totally up
to you so long as you do it safely; however three of the best incentives that
work almost all the time are discussed below.
The Health
Incentive
This has to top the list. When it comes to the question of safe
weight loss, nothing motivates people as much as the fact that ‘a healthy life
is a ticket to disease free life’! With the growing occurrences of fatal or
near fatal diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and diabetes in relatively
young people, it is becoming more and more important today to maintain a
healthy lifestyle. Maintaining a disease free lifestyle is an incentive that
works wonders for people.
The Competitive
Advantage
There are some people, who know the hazards of unhealthy
lifestyle, but are not yet ready to commit to weight loss. For them, maybe the
competitive edge can be a good motivator. These people can undertake a weight
loss program or a weight loss competition as a group and have a healthy
competition among them as to who loses the maximum weight. This helps maintain
the camaraderie intact and works to push you way more than what you think you
can do by yourself. Competition among friends is an extremely effective
incentive that can work wonders for you and your friends or family.
The Monetary
Advantage

| Weight Loss Contest |
Although listed last, this is one of the topmost incentives
for people to attack that extra weight with a vengeance. We just read about how
a healthy competition helps people struggling with weight loss. Now why not up
the ante and have a weight loss contest, at the end of which, the person losing
the most weight gets specific prize money as a reward! This way, not only is
there a healthy competition but at the end of the whole weight loss saga, you
also get compensated for all your efforts!
