If we are ever to accomplish anything in life,
including weight loss, we must first have a set of goals. The setting
of goals can really help you achieve weight loss or become healthier
and fitter. Knowing how to set these goals is the first step in the
process. Goals which are set effectively are more likely to be achieved.
Yes, there is a set of rules for you to follow
so that you are setting your weight loss goals in a way that you will
be able to follow. Ensure the goal you set is very specific, clear and
easy. Instead of setting a goal to lose weight or be healthier, set
a specific goal to lose an inch off your waistline or to walk 25 minutes
per day.
Make sure that your goal is something that you
really do want to acheive. If it's not something that you really want
in the first place then you won't be able to stick to the plan.
Goals you set which are too far out of your
reach, you probably won't commit to doing. Although you may start with
the best of intentions, the knowledge that it's too much for you means
your subconscious will keep reminding you of this fact and will stop
you from even giving it your best.
The weight loss goals you set need to be realistic
for you and where you are at the moment. A goal of never again eating
sweets, cakes, crisps and chocolate may not be realistic for someone
who really enjoys these foods.
Set goals with a definite time limit. For instance,
aim to build up to 3 sessions of exercising a week, by the end of next
month. If you are not setting time-specific goals then you may tend
to bend the rules from time to time.
