Tip#7: Set Realistic Mini-Goals
Which one sounds easier to you – moving a mountain in a day or shifting pebbles over a period of months? It’s a lot easier to make small changes that add up over time. Instead of setting a goal like – ‘I will lose 8 inches around my waist over the next one year’, set a smaller goal like ‘I’ll be thrilled if I lose half an inch around my waistline every month’ and then measure your progress on a monthly basis.
This way you won’t get depressed about or be sighing over your waistline if you’ve only lost 2 inches over 4 months because you haven’t lost 8 inches yet. Instead you’ll be quite justly celebrating your success!
Set mini-goals on a weekly basis too. Decide on the lifestyle changes you want to incorporate and choose to incorporate just one change every week. For instance, you can decide to switch to low fat diary the first week, eliminate deep fried foods the second week and so on. You won’t be biting off more than you can chew and you will find it easy to make long lasting, permanent and healthier changes that help you to lose weight quickly over time. Remember that you are in this for the long haul and setting realistic mini-goals will help you to create healthy new habits that stick.
It’s also important to review your goals weekly, evaluate your progress and figure out what worked and what didn’t! Reassess and adjust your goals accordingly and don’t hesitate to take on larger challenges over time.
