Prepare For Success

Weight loss is not easy and surely does not just "happen." If you have ever tried to lose weight or if you are currently caught in the weight loss - weight gain cycle, then you know exactly what I am talking about. You would think that with the amount of money that America spends on weight loss, we would have gotten it right by now but this is not the case. America as a country is fatter and sicker than it's ever been and if we don't start making some major changes in the way we've been approaching the problem, we may find ourselves in a losing battle. 

If you are thinking about losing weight, if you want to lose weight, if you NEED to lose weight, you must prepare yourself. As a wegith loss coach, I teach my clients that in order for them to achieve weight loss success, preparation is key. Believe it or not, your preparation should start even BEFORE you've started the actual weight loss program. When my cilents start my program, I put them through a phase of preparation... and then we begin dropping the weight. I've found that the more you prepare prior to starting a program, the more chances of success you have. I've listed 5 steps below that can help you get closer to your weight loss goals.

1. Set a weight loss goal, write it on paper. We set goals for things we want to accomplish but may have some difficulty doing. You must have your weight loss goal fixed firmly in your mind. This is a very important aspect of successful weight loss. If you have a goal and you work towards that goal, your chances of reaching that goal will be much greater. Choose a goal weight and write it down on paper.
2. Set a time limit for you to reach your weight loss goal, write it on paper. Putting yourself on a time frame will ad a healthy sense of urgency to your program. Giving yourself a reasonable amount of time will ensure that you do not put it off. Set a date that you are working towards and write it down on paper.
3. Think of the top 3 reasons why you want that weight loss goal, write it on paper. You MUST know why you are working to lose weight. Yes- for your health, yes- for your appearance, yes- for your family. NOW, stop and really think about what blessings losing weight will bring you. When you can put your finger on the emotions, feelings and motivations behind your weight loss goals, then you've found your glue to stick to your program. Write it down on paper.
4. Make a plan for you to follow to get to your weight loss goal, write it on paper. Whatever weight loss program you choose, you must follow a plan. Whatever the plan is, you need to write it down on paper so you, yourself understands what it is you are doing. You need to know the plan that's going to take you to your goal. How are you planning to lose the weight? Write it down on paper.
5. Take everything you've written on paper and compose a weight loss statement and read it every day. You must constantly keep your mission in your mind at all times. People wonder why they don't reach their goals, it's because they get sidetracked. Keeping focused daily will help you keep right on track!
