WLS Success-through Powerful Positive Attitudes
Fill you life with goals.
Fill your life with goals.
When you get close to your weight goal, you become more focused on it. You think about it constantly. Will it be tomorrow? In three days? Next week? Every time you eat you may think, "Maybe if I eat a little less, I can get to my goal sooner," or, "What if I walk twice a day for just this week?" Or, maybe you think, "After I reach my goal I can relax, right?"
You may think that once you reach goal you are done. But you will need to remain ever- vigilant caring for your pouch, which is still your most valuable tool. You also will need to see beyond weight loss to the other things in life that make it worth living. Learn something new. Set a goal to meet a different kind of challenge. Fill your life with more goals than just reaching your goal weight, and see how full your life can be.
Action for the day: In your journal, write down three non-weight-related goals.
