To make a change to your life you have to plan to make the change or it won’t happen. Nothing great ever happens by accident. Nobody realises their ambitions without commitment to a strategy.
Prior to commencing weight loss, take the time to think about your goals, and work out an exercise and eating programme with targets or indicators of success along the way. Even if the end result falls short of the planned criteria, it’s a likely bet that you’ll be much closer to success than you’d have been without them. An end goal, with mini-goals timed along the way will assist you greatly. Always specify your targets clearly.
Five D’s can form the outline of a contract that you should write down – to get a more emotional tie to reaching your goal: Try to define exactly what you expect to get from your efforts, in terms of lifestyle, fitness, weight etc. Make a collage of pictures that reflects these things, and look at them regularly (e.g. before your exercise sessions). The more specifically you define what you want, the better.
Desire – explore your emotions for this one and dig deep to discover why your weight is important. Is it to prove to yourself or others that you can do it, and that you deserve a better life? Perhaps you want to be fitter, or maybe it’s a personal challenge.
Dedication is a measure of how committed you are to a successful end result… It’s really important to put specific time aside to do your exercises. Make an appointment with yourself to fulfil your future and keep to it.
This not only helps you to get into a routine, it’s also an indicator for those around you that you’re engaged in something that’s important to you. Having a routine prevents you feeling stressed. It’s mentally easier for you too, because you don’t feel tempted to do other things.
A contract illustrates your Determination to see this thing through. Having a written document about the positive direction of your life makes it harder to bottle out of it. Having a plan and targets to work towards gives you a Discipline that helps you to power through the tough times that will occasionally strike you.
Your contract is a working document designed to assist and strengthen you through the change in your life. Plan your work, and then work your plan with commitment. In a year’s time, both the way you look and your life in general could be unrecognisable to those who know you now.
