This episode explores a common issue I see around setting a goal weight. If you find yourself trying to get back to a number you once were years ago and not really getting results in achieving it, I encourage you to listen to this one.
Questions to consider and journal on when setting a goal weight:
- why is setting a goal weight important to you?
- how does it feel when you think: "My goal weight is [insert goal weight]"?
- will that feeling drive helpful and kind action towards achieving it? Why or why not?
- why is that number important to you? what will it represent to you?
- how do you imagine yourself feeling if you weighed that number? what would you be believing about yourself? e.g. "I weigh [insert goal weight] and I feel [insert feeling] because I'm thinking [insert thought]"
- what will you need to do to create your goal weight? Write a list of action you will need to take, as well as things you will need to stop doing. These are things you need to be willing to continue doing once you've achieved your goal weight in order to maintain your results...
- are you willing to do all of those things consistently every day? Why or why not?
- what are you willing to sacrifice to achieve that result? Explain your answer.
- what aren't you willing to sacrifice to achieve that result? Explain your answer.
- do your answers to the two questions above impact what you want your goal weight to be?
- what might get in the way of achieving that result?
- how can you prepare for these obstacles ahead of time? what strategies might help you?
