Losing Weight and Setting your Goals

To lose a large amount of weight you have to set two types of goals. Long term and short term. The

long term goal is the main goal. For weight loss it's that final weight you want to be at. The short term goals are the important goals. The short term goals are what will keep you on track during the long haul.

Short term goals are like stepping stones. I am on a low carb diet, so I shoot to have my keytones at a certain level every three days. You don't want to spread your short term goals to far apart, because then you might cheat and think that you can get away with it, because you'll still meet your goal. This can be prevented by setting competitive goals. You also don't want to put the goals to close, because then you will stop thinking of it as a goal and start thinking about it as just a normal daily pattern. This to can be prevented by setting challenging short term goals.

It also helps to come up with some sort of accountability system. It doesn't matter if it's you doing something, or maybe a family member or friend doing something, it just needs be getting done.

Now for the question of cheating. You basically have  four options. the first is that you get one cheat every week. But it's extremely important that it's something really small like a candy bar. The second option is to cheat once every two weeks. This gives you the option of a little bigger cheat. The third option is to cheat once a month. This gives you a big cheat, but not necessarily a splurge. The last option, or fourth option is simply no cheats.

I hope this helped! Please share this with anybody you think this will benefit. Leave a comment(s) with any questions.
