Small Goals!

As I read through some of these posts, I see a lot of people working on 30 lbs and 50 lbs and 100 lbs! These are fantastic goals! But you are looking at this whole weight/fat loss thing in a perspective that is just a little skewed!

STOP! You are setting yourselves up for failure!

Your goals aren’t that you want to lose 50 pounds! You goals are, you want to lose 1! When you lose 1 pound, you will set another goal to lose 1 pound! And so on…
I can understand why you all want to lose 50 pounds. But do it with a little more realism…

Here’s the reasoning behind it. When we were all little we all had a goal to be lets say an astronaut! Are any of us astronauts? Probably not… Did you go to a military academy? Were your grades in school even good enough to even go? Did you show up every day to class? Did you pass each test with the highest marks? Did you do every piece of homework you teachers gave you? Did you listen in class that day? See where it all starts? It starts with the little steps, like good grades in school, then to a good college, then to something else, then to NASA!
It’s the same with weight loss! You need to focus on the small things, day by day. It’s great to have a larger overall goal! But focus on the small goals every day. Instead of eating a pizza, eat two slices. Instead of drinking a six pack of regular soda, drink one diet soda.

You will get there! If you focus on the small things every day!
