Day 10 – Set a Realistic Goal
Beck talks about being realistic goal when you set a goal for weight loss. It is important to be realistic about your rate of weight loss because one of the bigger reasons people quit their attempts at weight loss is because they aren’t losing weight fast enough. She also points out the option of just having your goal being five pounds at a time.
Since a lot of us are at our goal weight this can also speak to us about setting other goals, for example exercise goals. We need to be realistic with those too or else we wear ourselves out and may fall into “all or nothing” thinking and stop exercising at all, could also happen with weight loss goals.
If you are losing, what type of weight loss goal have you set for yourself? Do you think it is realistic and how will you handle it if you have setbacks?
For those of us maintaining I am assuming that we all have the general “maintain my goal weight” goal. Have you found that goal a realistic one for yourself and the life you live? How do you handle setbacks?
Heads up: Day 12 (Friday) is “skip lunch” day. You might want to think ahead about that so you can be prepared to do it on Friday, although there is no obligation to do it if you don’t want to and if you want to do it you can do it any day you choose.
