How to identify your UFO? Well we are not talking about any aliens here nor extra terrestrial objects, UFO stands for Unidentified Fitness Obstacles.
It is a general notion to come up with your New Year’s resolution on the 1st of January every year, you are highly motivated to eat right and work out as per your plan and the moment February hits, you start making excuses to yourself that - ‘It’s too cold outside’, ‘It’s too dark’, ‘I’m too tired’. Did you ever wonder why your resolutions are less than robust? Don’t you want to get fit any longer? Are there any better means to reach your goal?

How To Overcome Unidentified Fitness Obstacles
Fitness Quotes
There are many theories that would explain why such resolutions backfire even before they’re realized to reality. The “inner voice” within each of us prevents the positive change and always acts as a toddler. It doesn’t like inconvenience or discomfort. That’s how you actually get convinced by this “inner voice” of yours which says that it is not necessary to exercise daily. When you as an individual pay attention to this inner voice, you would tend to negotiate with it and promise it that you would eat right or work-out properly from tomorrow. You might put off your fitness regime again and again until you reach a point in time where it is already very late to start anything any earlier.
The best way to not to put off your fitness goal plan (which could be discouraging, if you miss it) is to not negotiate with your inner voice. It would be helpful to learn and acquire skills or tactics to regain control over your fitness plan. You should always emphasize on the very reason you have started following this fitness plan and stick to it in all cases. These UFOs block the motivation to eat right, workout and finally towards your fitness plan and these include things such as:
1. Depression
2. Seasonal affective disorder (SAD)
3. Work addiction
4. Hormone imbalances
5. Food allergies and intolerance
6. Sleep apnea
7. Toxic relationships
8. Perfectionism
9. Weak boundaries
Until the moment that individuals identify having any of these problems listed above, all their plans of self-motivation can’t achieve any fruitful results. Considering an individual who has low-grade depression or seasonal affective disorder, his / her honest attempts to wake up early in the morning to follow their scheduled fitness plan would always fail, as getting up early would be an extremely difficult task with such disorders. This brings us to the point where an individual has to figure out obstacles and also determine how to address them.
There are broader strategies that the experts can suggest and it would be the individual’s responsibility to figure out the specifics. It is also a known fact that what works with one individual is not going to work for the rest as a hard and fast rule. There can be variances as to what is available and what would be realistic for each of these individuals. For instance, chocolate might be a good reward, but not to an individual who is allergic to it.
You as an individual need to have a strong desire to be a healthier person and also have to work towards healthy eating habits.
Having said this, different techniques work for different people. To some a balanced and a healthy diet is sufficient, for one another a balanced diet along with an exercise buddy might work. There are people who are inspired to move with tools such as pedometers and heart monitors. Others prefer to share their progress with a personal trainer, a dietitian, or an online fitness coach.
As mentioned above there are many techniques available, but the trick is figuring out how to deal with your obstacles and make the most out of your weight loss / fitness goal in a manner that’s right for you.
