“Goalsetting - fulfilling your Resolution”
Mental Health article & self help book resource for lifetime health & fitness

When you make your resolution, you are excited, motivated,and it seems like there is nothing that can stop you fromaccomplishing your goal to lose weight.

You stick witheating right and exercising for about a month.

However,three months into the year, you have pretty much fallenback into your old habits.

Don`t fret. You need to take on a new mentality.

Whenmaking resolutions, people tend to make big, boldproclamations of changes they are going to make. Hereinlies the problem.

You are setting yourself up for failureby dreaming too big - or, expecting too much.

Take it in baby steps. It is fine to set an ultimate goal.

For example, by the end of the year, you will lose 20pounds.

But, once that goal is set, break it down intosteps - reasonable levels you can accomplish.

Here is asample guide to follow:

* First, analyze your current diet habits (before theholiday season started is probably more reasonable).

* Identify one or two problem areas such as drinking toomany sodas or frequenting the candy bowl at work.

* Make your first priority to conquer that habit. Findbetter alternative(s) to the problem area(s) youidentified. For example, drinking diet sodas or some othersugar-free drink instead of regular soda [water is thehealthiest choice!].

* Once you have accomplished that goal, identify anotherproblem area. For example, you may spend a lot of time onthe road. As a result, you eat several meals from fast foodrestaurants.

* Your next priority is to conquer this new problem areawhile maintaining the first goal. So, if find yourselfeating out a lot, make it your goal to make better choices.For example, avoid fried foods or eating hamburgers morethan once per week.

Instead, choose grilled chicken breastwithout the white sauce or mayonnaise.

* Again, once you accomplish this second goal, move onto a third.

Continue this way throughout the year each time maintainingthe goals set prior to the next. You will find that you aremaking lifestyle changes that will ultimately get you toyour final goal of losing weight.

Best of all, you will belosing weight through healthy habits that will stick withyou the rest of your life!
