Setting Realistic weight loss goals is a key factor in your weight loss and dieting success. Many people make the error of setting unrealistic goals when starting a new weight loss or diet program. The consequence of setting unrealistic goals is you set yourself up for failure. What is an example of an unrealistic goal? One example could be "I will try to exercise to lose the weight." or "I will eat fewer desserts to lose weight!" These goals will destroy a person's ability to continue dieting because they are vague and impossible to measure. When you set goals you cannot achieve the result is frustration that will lead to failure. Give yourself every chance to succeed and to ensure your success you must set realistic goals for weight loss.
When setting weight loss and dieting goals you must create goals that are easily achieved goals I call this type of goal a short-term realistic weight loss goal. By short-term I am talking about any goal that can achieve in the next seven days. Once you have made the list of short-term goals go back and review your list. To make these goals more powerful and achievable under each goal write down every action you need to take to make sure you achieve these goals. When you are listing all the actions be as specific as you can. The more clearly you can define your goal the faster you will achieve the goal. Planning how you approach dieting is crucial and setting realistic weight loss goals is an important factor to your success. The goals you have chosen to pursue must be very clear in your mind and to help you strengthen your understanding of your goals fill your goals with vivid detail, phrase them as very positive statements and in your mind see yourself as already having achieved these goals. Whenever you create another weight loss goal think of the goal as a "roadmap". A "roadmap" is a valuable tool when you plan a journey because it contains information, details, and above all the path you need to take to reach your destination. Your short-term realistic weight loss goals are your "roadmap" for you to follow on your weight loss and dieting journey. This is the reason for creating your weight loss goals using the method we just described: make your goals clearly defined, rich in detail, and as specific as possible. Once you have mastered this approach to creating your realistic weight loss goals all you have to do is follow the path you have created and watch your success rise up before you.
I know I am beginning to sound like a "broken record" but this is absolutely fundamental to your success. You must to plan every step of setting weight loss goals and dieting. There is another element to think about when you are creating and setting weight loss goals. This element is to phrase your goals in a positive voice. An example of a positive goal would be "This week I have focused on my goal and I have achieved my weight loss goal in the last seven days. I feel better, I am happy and I have a clear vision of what I need to do in the next seven days to achieve my next weight loss goal." Or, "I am enjoying all the foods that are on my diet. As I am achieving my goals I know I will achieve this week's goal of losing two pounds." Losing two pounds in a week might not seem like a significant goal but to lose the two pounds you must change your daily routine in ways you might not realize. What are these changes? To lose weight, you have to change the portion sizes in all your meals. We all become accustomed to a portion size and changing that portion size is a big change. To changing your portion sizes will require discipline and focus. Another change is the time of day you eat your meals. The healthy weight loss and dieting programs will require you to eat some form of breakfast lunch and dinner but you will also be required to eat a small meal/snack at mid-morning and mid-afternoon. Can you be focused enough to change your eating patterns? Do not minimize the impact of this change, it may sound simple but it is a change to your fundamental behavior. To lose two pounds I mentioned earlier you would be changing every eating pattern and habit that you have developed in your life. This is not easy but it is possible to make these changes. Even the losing small amounts of weight require planning, focus and dedication.
Set aside a particular time to create your goals. If possible find a quiet place where you can concentrate completely on just creating these goals. Read your goals out loud. Listen to them. When you hear them how do you feel? Do the goals sound realistic? Start with simple goals. As you write your list of realistic weight loss goals you will see your path to success. The one fact that is absolutely true is the more defined your goals and the more precise your goals the more certain you will each of your goals and so much more.
The outcome of creating your short-term realistic weight loss goals is to lead you to a clear vision of your long-term weight loss goals. Consider a long-term goal to be any goal you achieve in a year or longer. Think about what you would like to weigh in one year? How do you think you will look? How do you want to feel? Begin to create a clear, focused vision of who you will be. Fill your mind with as many details as you can, details such as what you will be wearing in a year from today, is the sun out, what emotions are you feeling after a year of successful weight loss and dieting.
