Goal Setting for Weight Loss

“The greater danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.” – Michelangelo

The most important thing you need to do before starting any weight loss program is to sit down and write out specific goals you want to accomplish. A goal is the purpose toward which an endeavour is directed; an objective. It is not enough to say to yourself that you want to lose weight. You need to write it out and be as specific as you can. Without a clear goal, you run the risk of failure in your weight loss efforts. Having a well-written goal it can help to keep you focused and motivated to achieve your target.
