6 Simple Tips to Help Fulfill Your Weight Loss Resolutions
3. Write down the secret behind that reason
Well, now for the big “secret” – the missing key to achieving your goals: write “why,” meaning what are you doing about it? Most people skip this step, which is a major reason for not achieving their goals. It is extremely important for you to write down the reasons why you want to achieve each specific goal. For example, if your goal is “to lose 20 pounds in 6 months,” write down the reason you want to lose that weight. Here’s another tip: Make it “personal and emotional.” The “more reason” – divide it into smaller and easier “little steps.” Let’s say you want to lose 20 pounds. This sounds like an insurmountable task, but it becomes much easier to manage if you view it as losing an average of 1 pound per week, over 20 weeks. The more likely you are to push toward the goal. So, let’s say you have children. An example of a good “reason” is “I know that being overweight is a major cause of many health issues – I will lose 20 pounds and become healthier so as not to be a burden on my children, and to be able to stay healthy long enough to attend my daughter’s wedding and be there to carry my grandchildren.” “. All of these things are important to you of course. But I’m sure you got the picture.
