A brief YouTube video by Jim Katsoulis presenting a single motivational technique for weight loss: to appreciate the effort of carrying excess weight, pick up a bag of dog food equal to the pounds you want to lose, hold it for a minute or two, and internalize how taxing it feels to carry that weight daily. The tip emphasizes visualization and bodily experience as motivation.

My pet food motivation trick. One of the challenges of weight is that it comes down a pound at a time, so you habituate to it in real time, and you don't realize the full impact it's having on you. So one way to adjust for this is the next time you go to a grocery store or pet food store is go pick up a bag of dog food. That's the same weight as the amount of weight that you want to lose, hold it in your arms for a minute or two, and internalize how much energy this is taking to carry this around day in and day out.
