Monday, 26th of January 2009 at 09:18:47 AMLast night I sat down and wrote out exactly what I had to do. This included my low-cal, high fruit and vegetable meal plan for the next two weeks and a detailed grocery list of exactly what I need to buy. The second thing I wrote out was a time table of my daily schedule that included one hour of exercise five days a week. I made two copies of this schedule – one for me and one to post on the refrigerator so that my family knows what I have to do and can support me in that.
The third, and probably most important phase of making my weight loss plan was setting a weight loss goal for myself, which is 30 pounds in three months, and then visualizing how I will look and feel at the end of three months. I wrote down all the things that I visualized:
- I have more energy and feel healthier
- I feel productive with my life
- I feel much lighter and my clothes fit beautifully
- My knees don’t hurt when I walk up stairs
- My family is proud of me
- I have control over my food cravings
Today when I woke up I took a number of minutes visualizing myself 30 pounds thinner and experiencing all the benefits on my list. I feel so inspired. So far I’m off on the right foot. A light breakfast at home and a healthy lunch is packed for work. I will go to the gym after work for an hour. This is my plan for weight loss – a new part of my life starts today.
