So this time you will lose weight! To do this you will need to make changes to your lifestyle and this includes activity/exercise as well as the food you eat. How committed are you right now? Score yourself on a scale of one to ten on your readiness for change. If you scored yourself at 5 or below then now is not the time. What will make your score higher? When you are ready, you can start.
Firstly, write down your reasons for wanting to lose weight. It may be for health, wanting to be able to run around with the kids, or even after seeing that picture! These reasons will be your anchor, they will pull you back on track should you start to falter.
Nest, write down you goals. Goals should be SMART...Specific Measurable Achievable Realistic Timed. A goal may look like this. I will lose ten pounds over the next six weeks. I will achieve this by losing one to two pounds each week. I know will know I am on target by weighing myself every Monday morning. When you reach your goal give yourself a small non-food reward.
Finally, write down any barriers both real or perceived that may stop you from reaching your goals. Now write down how you will overcome them.
You are now almost ready to start your weight loss journey.
