Motivation is defined as “The psychological feature that arouses an organism to action toward a desired goal; the reason for the action; that which gives purpose and direction to behavior”. For many years, people, despite the knowledge and capacity on weight loss, just find it difficult to shed off the excess weight. Experts account this to the absence or presence of motivation. For people who are motivated, focusing on their desired weight can be easy. Although this does not mean that the process is devoid of pain. Being motivated can keep a person on the track (of the program) until such time when the goal is achieved, which in this case is losing weight. People who lack the motivation, exerting effort of burning unwanted fat can be difficult in the several weeks of the weight loss program.
