Achieving your goals: Weight Loss

If you are anything like me you have a list of 20 goals that you would like to achieve. and It is quite possible that weight loss is one of them.
As a nation we are severely obese and on the brink of a fat epidemic. and why should weight loss be your goal number 1? Because, using my own experience as example when you feel good about yourself, you will have much more energy to take other tasks. When your body is health your mind will be health and achieving your goals will become easier.
Also , your body is something that you have total control. You do not need someone else to achieve optimum health. Most of your other goals will need the involvement of someone else. Losing weight can be done totally by you, and coming to think of if you cannot lose weight by yourself, how are you going to accomplish the other goals? if you can not act towards something that only your actions are required, how are you going to act towards something that besides your reactions you need someone else reacting.
Let’s put it this way, for you to get a raise you need to be an excellent employee, you will need to your job and exceed on your functions. and you also need your boss to notice and react on giving you a raise. now let’s say that you do not do your job the way you are suppose do to and would still expect a raise?
That’s exactly what I am trying to say, if you do not act on goal that only requires you to succeed, you will not react in other areas of your life, because you will feel that you are a failure.
Is losing weight easy? no. I haven’t achieve my goal of optimal health and weight as well. But, the good thing is we know how to do it and we just need to start, your weight will be the first goal that you should conquer. Once you start losing weight, you will have the energy to start tackling your other goals. Losing weight takes persistence, hard work and will power and you already know that. It won’t be easy but also know that. Just start and don’t worry about how fat you are and how long is going to take, baby steps, one pound at time. You just need to act, take the first step towards achieving your goal.
I am also starting a blog dedicate only for my weight loss and I want you to participate with me on this journey. I have tried numerous diets and have lost weight and put it back on. But if there’s one thing that I have extra is persistence in achieving my goals, I do not give up easily nor should you, because like the song goes…we know that lord haven’t brought us this far, so he could drop ourselves here!
