Setting Goals For Weight Loss, How To Do It The Smart Way : Step 1: SPECIFIC

Setting Goals For Weight Loss, How To Do It The Smart Way :  Step 1: SPECIFIC

Step 1: SPECIFIC

You must make sure that the weight loss goals you set are as specific as possible.

A general/ambiguous goal would be: "I want to lose weight."

A specific goal would be: "I want to lose 10 pounds of fat by the end of February."


The former is a vague statement; such statements hold no credibility whatsoever, and do not have a sound psychological effect on your brain, whereas a specific goal has a much greater chance of accomplishment -- simply because it's stated in a non-ambiguous manner, hence - your brain registers it as an active goal (as opposed to passive, irrelevant grousing).

Make sure that all the goals you set / statements you make are as specific as can be. You should apply this to everything, including your actual weight loss strategy. That is, instead of saying "I will eat less", you should establish how much you're going to eat, exactly. "Less" is not an action-oriented term -- at least your brain does not interpret it as such.
