What are some off-beat ways to stay motivated (not fall off the wagon) throughout your weight loss journey?

Here are some of mine:

1. Take the rest days during the week, not the weekend: Usually during the week, you’re more likely to have your meal prepped/home-cooked food. So even if you miss your workout or take a rest day, you’re still eating healthy. If your rest days are on the weekend, you’re more likely to eat/snack on unhealthy foods with no workout done for the day.

2. To stop going for seconds: Wear a tight pair or pants or a belt over your dress during meals. Usually you know that the first serving on your plate is enough, but it takes us a few minutes to “feel” full. With the belt or tight pants, you feel full by the time you’re done with your first serving, and you won’t find the need to go for seconds, and you’ll be full anyway because that first serving was enough to begin with.

3. This one is really odd but it’s helped me: Right before lunch or dinner (or during any big meal), watch a gory/slasher movie - it curbs the appetite and makes you NOT go for seconds or eat too much after.
