It’s A Goal!
How score when your goal is to reduce body fat, lose weight and stay healthy.
Setting a goal is the key if you want to successfully shed fat, lose weight and never put it back on, a well defined goal is what you will look towards for motivation, and it will help you make the right choices when times are tough.
By well defined I mean, having an exact weight that you will reach and a date that you will reach it by. Write these in your journal, post them on your fridge and at the side of your bathroom mirror, in fact anywhere you will see them regularly. Yesterday someone told me she puts hers on the inside of the kitchen wall cupboard door along with a photo of how she was when she started her weight loss plan, every time she goes to the cupboard she is reminded of her goal, to reduce her body fat, lose weight and why she set it………..This goal must never leave your mind.
Also write in your journal how you will feel when you reach this goal and have lost this exces body fat.
Lose the thought of being overweight. Imagine the moment you get on the scales and what life will feel like being the new you, what will be different? How will you look? What will you wear? What things might you do different to what you do now? What kinds of food do you think the new you will eat? What kind of exercise will you do? What will your friends think? Who will your friends be? How may your important relationships change? And what will you think of yourself? Write down in your journal the answers to all these questions and as many of your own as you can think of, read them daily and they will guide you to your goal.
Live life as though you have already reached your goal, as if you are the new you. Ask yourself this question am I an overweight person who would like to lose fat, lose weight and be healthier or a slim person carrying too much weight but who is committed to regaining a slim figure and healthy life? They are essentially the same person, but your approach to life and your ability to attain your goal may be different depending on how you describe yourself.
If you are the overweight person who would like to get slim, you will go about the life of an overweight person, doing what overweight people do, acting like overweight people act and all the time wanting to lose weight. You will go on diets eating the foods dieters eat, you may try many things but at the end of the day you are still the overweight person doing what overweight people do. Your subconscious mind will lead you down the path of your most dominant thought, that you are an overweight person.
On the other hand if you view yourself as the slim person carrying too much weight but committed to regaining a slim figure, you will live life as a slim person, eating what a slim person eats, doing what a slim person does.
What other preconceptions may you have about yourself that could be sabotaging your goals?
Ps. From the examples above which of the two emotions do you think is most likely going to help you reach a goal; would like to lose or is committed to regaining?
