Setting
Goals
Set Out The Steps To Achieve Your Goal
and Success Becomes
Inevitable
Most successful people find that setting
goals is one of the most important parts of achieving those
goals and this applies to almost everything in life including
your ability to be successful with weight loss.
What you do have to realize
however is these goals need to be realistic and you need to
believe that you can achieve them or you will be starting off
on the wrong foot and failure will be imminent.
To make your goal achievable you
need to look at it over an extended period of time rather than
believing that you can lose 15 pounds in a couple of
weeks.
While this might be possible it
is certainly a lot harder to achieve than to expect to lose
that weight over the course of several months.
Keeping a diary helps a lot of
people to achieve their goals as it helps to enforce the
actions that are required to meet those goals on a daily
basis.
In your diary you can record your
body weight, the foods you've been eating, any supplements you
have been taking and the results that you have been getting
from these actions.
This helps you to readjust your
goals and make changes to your fitness and nutrition as things
change in the course of your weight loss program.
Within your major goal you should
also have short-term goals and once again these need to be
realistic to keep you motivated.
These short-term goals will
change from time to time as during the course of your weight
loss program you will probably find that progress accelerates
after certain stages of your plan.
Sometimes you will also plateau
for a while where your weight loss will tend to slow down and
by having a diary you will be able to look at those areas that
you might be able to change to get over that plateau and
continue to
progress.
