Set Yourself Up for Success
Well-planned Goals can help you convert your thoughts into action. Here’s how to create successful weight loss goals.
Weight loss Goals can mean the difference between success and failure. Realistic. Well-planned weight-loss goals keep you focused and motivated. In addition, they provide a plan for change as you transition to a healthier lifestyle.
But not all weight-loss goals are helpful. Unrealistic goals can undermine your efforts.
Big Goals can be the Outcome goals, and this is what you hope to achieve in the long term, to lose a certain amount of weight, and this is Great to have this Goal.
However, your weight-loss goals should be split up into smaller steps. For example, small progress goals like staying on track today and eating the right foods as laid out in our diet plan, taking it one day at a time, is another small step toward your eventual outcome Goal.
Drinking enough water every day is another small progress Goal. Perhaps taking a walk for 15 – 20 mins daily or every other day is what is known as a progress Goal.
Another progress goal is to feel happy and proud of yourself as you make changes and take steps toward a healthier lifestyle.
Keeping a Journal
Keeping a Journal and the first thing to list is the benefits of losing weight.
Then make a list of the disadvantages of not changing to lose weight and become healthier. You will see that the list of benefits far outweighs the penalties, and reading this list every few days is very motivating.
Jot down your thoughts daily, and you will soon see how this challenge is becoming easier and more accessible daily.
It will take you no longer than 5 mins a day – it’s kind of like writing your own story about your weight loss journey but believe me, it always motivated me personally and helped me to stay on track to lose 34 kilograms successfully.
When you get despondent, feel a little down, or think you cannot resist that cupcake or a piece of your colleague’s birthday cake, reading through your journal will be inspiring, get you back on track, and have you raring to achieve that end ultimate weight loss goal.
