Weight Loss – Tips to Keep You on Track Part 1

HAVE A GREAT REASON.

See my previous entry “Great reasons to lose weight”. It’s essential to have a great reason to keep you going and keep you on track.
Give yourself 5 minutes. Sit down in a quiet place and write flat out. Use point form only as this will be quicker. Write down all the reasons you can think of.

Why do YOU want to lose weight? What will it mean to YOU? How will YOU feel when you reach your goal weight? I cann’t over emphasis this enough because when you have a strong motivating reason to do something you will be much more likely to achieve what you wish to do.

KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING.

How can you reach a goal if you have no idea of where you are going?
Get clear on this straight away. There is no point in going any further until you know where you are going.

What is your weight now? What is your waist measurement? Do you know what your current body fat percentage is? How many calories do I need just to sit around and do nothing all day? How much protein will my body need so I can lose weight and not feel hungry? What is my body fat percentage goal? What is my target waist measurement? What is my target weight and how long will it take me to reach it?

Make a “goals board”. Put it in a prominent place (e.g. in the kitchen) so you can see it many times each day. Add to it as you please. Cut out photos from magazines or make some drawings of your own. These will feature your goals. For example if you want to look great on the beach you might choose photos of people looking great on the beach because that’s your goal. You WILL look great and you” be wearing those board shorts or that bikini. Your goal may be to play sports with your kids. Chose happy photos of adults and children running and playing together. I think you get the idea. This is a fun thing to do so be creative! It’s your future so make it as colourful and beautiful and exciting as you can. Goal boards really do work. You tend to get the things you can picture in your mind and what you focus on. So focus on a healthier slimmer joyful you.
Know where you need to go. Get your goals sorted.
