Guest guest Posted January 9, 2002 Report Share Posted January 9, 2002 Make it easy to succeed Success breeds success. The more successful we are at something, the more we like doing it. Dieting is no different. The more successful we are at it, we more we like doing it. So, make it easy for you to succeed. How? By setting yourself a series of small targets. Example Suppose you weigh 200 pounds and you'd like to slim down to 150 pounds. Set yourself 5 different targets of 10 pounds each: i.e. first, aim to get to 190 pounds, then 180 pounds, and so on. Each time you hit your target, you'll feel good because you'll have achieved something. And you'll want to continue. Obvious perhaps, but most slimmers don't do it. They simply aim to lose '30-40 pounds'. They make it harder for themselves to hit a target. So they fail. ** Reward yourself for hitting target Each time you hit a weight target, give yourself a specific reward. What sort of reward should you give yourself? How should I know? - Choose whatever you like! Ideally, borrow your partner's credit card and cruise the shops. Using someone else's money ALWAYS makes it easier to think of ideas. Trust me.
