If I tell you NOT to think of an elephant – guess what – the elephant will dominate your thoughts for some time! Similarly you need to think about WHERE you are heading to in terms of all your goals, NOT where you ARE AT! So to achieve fitness/weight loss goals focus on the future and how you’ll look – try not to dwell negatively on how you feel about your status now. Make a plan and write it down (I’ve said this before). You won’t ‘suddenly be a dress size smaller’ – it needs structured planning, and this planning needs sub goals, so break these down in turn.
Think of a reward for when you get there and tell all your friends about your goals too – you’ll be far more likely to adhere! If you are a procrastinator, this is based on fear, perfectionism, + seeing too wide a picture not breaking it down onto these sub-parts. The best solution is to JUST START, even a little bit, the rest will surely follow as it will then pray on your mind (proven) – so grab your pen NOW and start to plot anything! Next: when you eat, chew at a normal pace to start, then slow right down for the second half and savour it – you’ll get better messages to stop when full. + Put a big mirror in the kitchen – you are less likely to cheat if you see yourself in the act (TRUE!!).
