When working towards your fat loss goals it's important to set yourself up for success. FIRST THINGS FIRST- Ask yourself- what is your WHY?
Why are you taking this journey?
What are you hoping to accomplish?
Who are you doing this for?
Write these down & answer them.
Keep in mind- motivation is only going to take you so far, so you really need to dig deep here.
Be Goal Focused- USE SMART Goals:
Specific
Measurable
Achievable
Relevant - to you or to your priority
Time-bound
Write your goals down- how do you know what you are working towards? How will you remember? Post it notes, journal, planner, reminder on your phone, white board, etc can be very helpful. Use whatever method works best for YOU. Review you goals often- at least daily - or multiple times daily!
Work on maintaining a Positive Mindset- You have to believe that you can accomplish the goal. Surround yourself with positive people! We are often our biggest critics. Be aware of the negative self-talk. Negative self talk such as, “I’m never going to lose this weight, or I hate how my legs look”
Establish affirmations & repeat them often. Write down things you feel confident in, or things you have been successful at in the past. Or write down things you want to see happen. “I am a person who prioritizes their health & fitness.” Write these in your notes section in your phone, post its;
Additional reminders:
Focus on the Behaviors, not outcomes;
Celebrate all victories- especially small ones!
Remain flexible!
Give yourself some Grace- Progress, not perfection!
Be PATIENT! This is a journey! Acknowledge that this will take time. Its okay to recognize you aren’t where you want to be, but you are further along than when you started.
Seek support!
