Goals
What's Your Hurry, Sparky?
Submitted by Goddess on Mon, 12/31/2007 - 03:03.People get weird sometimes going on about how they DESERVE to lose weight but it hasn’t happened. It almost seems like they’re completelhy hacked off sometimes.
As in: "Hey, I only ate 3 lettuce leaves and some chicken broth but I gained half a pound yesterday! Whyyyyyyy?"
Um…what do you say to that? How do people get THAT hyper, anyway?
Lose-By Goals: Helpful?
Submitted by Goddess on Mon, 12/31/2007 - 03:02.I know for some folks, having a "lose-by" date can be motivating and help keep them on track, focused.
But these dates can sometimes be a bigger obstacle than help. You may be asking the wrong questions here. Instead of asking, “How can I lose X pounds by this date?” Maybe the question should be, “How can I continue to make progress that I can maintain?"
Find out if your lose-by date is helping or hurting, and what you might focus on instead...
