Losing weight successfully and permanently is very difficult and it seems that no matter what diet or exercise plan you are using, you still fail. If you look at the different weight loss advertisements, then everything seems so simple and easy. "Use this diet plan and you will lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks," but in real life it does not work that well. Very often it seems that something is missing, that prevents people from losing weight successfully.
Goal setting is far more important than any weight loss diet and exercise plan
People who succeed in life, may not be the smartest or the hardest working, but one thing that they do have is clear goals to aim at. If you have very specific goals written down on paper, that you remind yourself time after time, then you have a much bigger chance to succeed. People very often do not understand how powerful goal setting can be.
Having a goal to lose some weight, is very general and bad goal. It is much better to have a picture in mind how you want to look, or writing down exactly then number of pounds you want to lose and so on. The more specific and clear your goals, is the more likely you are to reach it.
For example you can have a picture in your mind, where you go to the beach and take off your clothes and have the lean and fit body you always wanted. This without a doubt is very motivating and you should not be afraid to dream and set yourself high targets. If things get tough and hard, then you can always imagine that lean and fit body, that one day you will get. This is just an example, but you get the point.
Most people do not have this driving factor in them, that makes them wake up early in the morning and forces them to exercise day after day. You can have a perfect weight loss diet plan or exercise plan, but if you are not able to follow them, then you can´t lose weight. So set yourself a goal and just start going towards it, one step at a time.
