The 4 Goals to Set for Losing Weight

Having a positive self-image and setting the right goals are very important for losing weight.


• Without the right mindset it’s difficult or even impossible to lose weight and keep it off.


• Just as you can shape your body with proper diet and exercise, you can shape your self-image and mindset with the right tools.


• One of the first steps to having the right mindset for losing weight is to set proper goals.


• When I set a goal to lose weight, I tend to feel worse if I don’t lose as much as

• I’d like to , or even,• put on more weight.


• An excellent method of feeling better about losing weight is to set realistic goals.

• When you meet goals that you set for yourself, you’ll feel much better.


• For instance, if your goal is to lose 1 pound each day, you might not meet this goal and will feel worse.

• However, if your goal is to go for a ten-minute walk every day, ….


• you can easily complete this task and feel much better about yourself.

• Here are a few things you should do in order to set appropriate weight loss goals.


• In addition, you’re not likely to forget those goals or trivialize them.


• 1) Write it down


• 1) Write it down

• It may seem silly, but writing down a goal increases the chances that you’ll reach it. It doesn’t have to be something fancy like a framed document; you could simply email yourself your goals, or write them down on a notebook or journal.


• When you write down your goals and look at them, you realize that you’ve just entered into a contract with yourself.

• Realizing that it is an obligation will make you more likely to work towards that goal.


• In addition, you’re not likely to forget those goals or trivialize them.


• 2) Be realistic • One of the worst things you can do is to set

unrealistic goals for yourself. • We frequently do this to ourselves,


• and are likely to set extreme and unrealistic weight loss goals, such as “lose 20 pounds this month”.

• It might be phrased differently e.g. “Fit into my tiny dress for the party next month” but the goal itself is unrealistic.


• Setting an unrealistic and demanding goal is not helpful in any way.

• First off, you’re quite likely to be intimidated by the demands of the goal, and may be too scared to take action towards it.


• Secondly, when you ultimately fail to reach the goal, you’ll be depressed and unhappy, and give up on trying to lose weight.


• On the other hand, if you keep your goals realistic, you won’t have these problems.


• 3) be positive • Always phrase your goals in a positive manner such as “I

will go out for a walk every day”• Rather than “I will stop being so lazy”, or

“I will eat an apple each day as my afternoon snack”

• Instead of “I will stop wolfing chips every afternoon”.


• Make it something you can do, not something you should stop doing.


• 4) Be precise

• Make your goal something precise and measurable. Instead of saying “I’ll go running” say “I will run for 30 minutes every day”.


• This preciseness means you will stay accountable to yourself, since you can measure your progress easily.

• Again, make sure it’s something you do, rather than an amount of weight or inches to be lost.


• There are various small goals you may need to set for yourself on your weight-loss journey.

• You may have eating goals and exercise goals. Once you’ve identified and written down your targets, you can start working towards them.
