Jim Katsoulis argues that framing weight goals as "losing weight" is demotivating; instead, people should focus on living the rest of their life at their goal weight. This motivational reframing—focusing on what you will gain from being at goal weight rather than what you will lose—produces the sustained motivation needed to achieve and maintain the goal.

Your weight loss goal stinks if it's not focused on what you truly want. And what you truly want is not to lose weight. What you truly want is to live the rest of your life at your goal weight. And this distinction is everything. Because if you're trying to motivate yourself by focusing on what you're going to lose, you're never going to experience the motivation you need. Start focusing on everything you're going to get from living at your goal weight and you're going to start to tap into the motivation that's going to allow you to achieve your goal.
