Does your weight loss goal seem so far away, it defeats you before even getting started?
Perhaps you want to lose 3 stone up.
But even losing a few pounds seems like hard work - “How on earth am I going to lose 3 stone”
Now I get it.
The Clients we’ve worked with who have lost 4,5,6,7 stone, never thought it would be a easy journey, and in fact they felt the struggle of starting when the end goal seems so far away.
However there’s a few keys to making this more manageable
1- Break your long term goal into smaller 30 day goals.
Opposed to thinking “I want to lose 3 stone” think about, where do you want to be in the next 3 days? That could be 1/2 stone off for example.
Losing 7 pounds seems far more achievable that 3 stone.
2- Focus on the ‘process’
What is actually needed to start reaching your goals?
Is it a certain amount of workouts per week? A number of steps per day? Consistency with nutrition?
By focusing on the actual process, removes constant ‘thought’ of the end goal, however that outcome becomes a byproduct of what you are following.
3- Setting mini milestones
We’ve taken several clients to cross the 100lb loss mark, and we never once thought about losing 100lb, but more so, losing 1lb 100 times. Every pound lost is a nudge in the right direction, and feels like an achievement, which keeps the momentum heading in the right direction.
4- Have a road Map in place.
Simply knowing where you should be at certain points can help hugely with clear direction. How much weight should you be aiming to lose per week, per month, per 3 months? Knowing this, can act as a pacer, which gives the clarity behind where you should be.
Often people walk into big goals completely blind, and just cross their fingers, which often causes overwhelm.
However by breaking things down, setting small 30 day goals, focusing on the process, and setting mini milestones can help hugely with long term results.
