When it comes to weight loss most of us can easily name our "whys" bing, bang, boom. But knowing "why" is just the first step in your success plan, you have to figure out "how" you can make your goal become a reality and THEN, and here's the rub...you have to figure out how you can make yourself do the "hows" you have decided you need to do!! Whew!!! Perhaps this is why many of us just don't get to where we want to be?
I've been thinking about a criteria we could use to help us do our "hows" and this is one that came to me on my walk this morning, "You have to decide what it's worth to you and that will help you decide what you are willing to do, or give up, in order to achieve your goal." Make sense?
For example I am planning to continue to be sugar free for the holidays. Because any amount of sugar sends me on a slide I have decided it is worth it to me to have none. But that extreme attitude may not be worth it to you. I think it's fair to say ALL of us want to set limits on the goodies we eat at Christmas time. So what are your limits going to be? Would you say it's worth it to you to have no goodies until Christmas dinner? Or is that too strict? Would it be worth it to you to just have goodies if at an event? Would you say in order to limit goody gobbling it's worth it to you to not bring random goodies (goodies that are not for a specific purpose) into your house? Would you say it is worth it to you to indulge as you please during this time?
Where do you want to be in your weight loss journey come January?
What is it worth to you?
Decide what you want.
Decide what is worth doing.
Then write it down and remember to be specific!
