Morbid Obesity Help - Six Steps to Achieving Your Goals

[marco fonda]

Morbid obesity is a relatively new term that has been talked about
more since the body mass index (bmi) calculation came about. No matter
how much weight you have to lose, the following six step process is
meant to assist you with your weight loss efforts.
1. Write your goals down and tell yourself what weight you want to get
to. Since you are undertaking something as huge as losing your extra
weight, you may as well also focus your efforts on improving other
aspects of your life while you have the motivation and drive.
2. Be specific about what those goals are. When you generalize your
goals, you are trivializing them. Your goals are important. Make them
important!
3. Assign yourself a deadline. You want to lose weight (even 5
pounds). You want to do it by Christmas, or your wedding, or the next
class reunion. When you assign a deadline, you give yourself a goal to
work for, and like we said, your goals are important!
4. Make those goals measurable and achievable. Do not think too big or
try to undertake more than what you are capable of. If you need to
lose 100 pounds or more, don not expect to do it in a few weeks. Give
yourself enough time to do so in a healthy manner. You could also try
to break the goals down into easier increments. Tell yourself that you
will lose 10 pounds over the next month. Then tell yourself the same
thing the next month. Eventually, you will reach that goal and feel
the satisfaction of being lighter than you were before.
5. Focus on those goals everyday. Post them on your refrigerator.
Write them in your date book. Put a reminder on the visor of your car.
When you focus on your goals, you will keep them in mind all the time
and when they are first and foremost in your mind, you will be well on
the way toward achieving them.
6. Be committed to those goals, at all costs. There is a reason why
you want to achieve those goals. When you are committed, those goals
become the focus of your mind and they will be much easier to realize.
Two of the most important things to remember when seeking morbid
obesity help is to celebrate little successes and remove negative self
talk.
