Decide To Lose Weight

Making a decision is a powerful process towards achieving
something. By not making a firm decision you are just
floating around the edges of any goal that you want to
achieve. Too many people that want to lose weight approach
it in an indecisive way. They may say things like:

I should try to lose weight, I'll try to cut down on bad
food, Maybe I should start exercising, I could join a gym,
Perhaps I'll try that new diet, I'll start in a few weeks,

None of the above are decisions, they are just fleeting
thoughts or at best weak intentions, and frankly they will
not get you anywhere. Making a firm decision can be very
empowering because you are making a commitment. Try this
for yourself:

Say to yourself 'I suppose I should lose some weight' and
notice what happens in your mind. You may find that other
thoughts attach themselves to what you have said. These
thoughts may go along the lines of:

It'll be too hard, I don't have the time right now, I've
always failed in the past, I don't think I have the
willpower, I can't be bothered at the moment,

Once these thoughts have grouped together you will drop the
idea of losing weight like a hot potato, although you may
retain some guilt in the back of your mind for giving up so
easily.

Now say to yourself 'I AM going to lose weight' and say it
with some force and conviction. Now what do you notice in
your mind? You may find that saying it that way makes the
thought feel stronger. The negative thoughts that you had
earlier seem weaker, they are probably still there but seem
more distant. This happens because when you make a decision
you are giving a direct order to your mind, and your mind
has a firm instruction to follow instead of some vague
thought or half hearted wish.

The next step is to write out 2 plans, plan A which is
based on a decision that you will lose weight, and plan B
which is based on a decision not to lose weight. You need
to write out what each plan will offer you. Write out your
own plans based on the example below.

Plan A

More Energy, Improved Health, Better Self Confidence,
Higher Self Esteem, Feel and Look More Attractive, Feel
Happier about Yourself

Plan B

Less Energy, Increasing Health Problems, Low Self
Confidence, Poor Self Esteem, Poorer Self Image, Problems
with Anxiety and Depression

Make your lists as long as possible and then imagine were
you will be in 1, 3, and 5 year's time with whichever plan
that you decide to follow. Picture how you will look and
feel in the future with whatever plan you choose.

Keep in mind that both plans are progressive, meaning that
both plans will evolve and not stand still. Follow plan A
and the benefits will increase. You'll become more
energetic, your health will continue to improve, your self
confidence and self esteem will snowball. The fact is that
the more you do of something, the better you will get at it
and the easier it will become.

If you follow plan B you will not be in the same position
that you are in now. Plan B will also evolve, your energy
will continue to decrease, your health will get worse and
you often find that one health problem leads to another and
another. Your self confidence and self esteem will continue
to drop.

At this point you have the choice as to which plan you will
decide to follow. I've got no right to tell you which plan
you should follow, that is your decision and nobody else's.
It's all about what you really want for yourself. If you
decide to go with plan B then there is not much more for
you to do apart from stop reading. If you decide to go with
plan A then you have already taken a major step towards
losing weight just by making that decision.

Nothing ever gets done without some sort of decision first,
the world is run on decisions, decisions lead to action,
and it's only by acting on something that we can achieve it.

Once you have made your decision, decide what actions you
are going to take to reach your goal. Find out what you are
going to do and how you are going to do it. Write out your
plan and start following it; decide that you are committed
to finishing what you have started. Don't just sit and
think about it, make your decision and be happy about it.
