Re: A FEW questions

Jas,

A lot of people find it more motivating to set long term goals such

as loose a specific amount of weight, get to a specific clothes

size, lower their cholesterol a certain amount of points. Try to be

specific, instead of saying you figure you can loose 20 to 30

pounds... have your goal be, I WILL loose 25 lbs in 12 weeks. I WILL

reduce my pants size to ____ in 12 weeks. I personally have never

set any specific long term goals and I am doing just fine. I guess

different things work for different people. I have a very general

goal in mind (I would like to be around 130 lbs some time in the

near future) lol...

One of the habits common to many successful people is writing

specific goals with a very specific date and re-reading those day

and night to remind themselves of the goal. I encourage you to do

this .. but go beyond just writing your goals. Try to incorporate

reasons WHY you should achieve those goals and how you intend to

attack them. Here is an article that has a goals-contract attached

that might be of use:
