Weight Loss Vision Board

Weight Loss Vision Board
Weight loss goals are important. Your dreams of wearing a
particular size or seeing a specific number on the scale
are also important. Are these weight loss goals and dreams
someplace that you can see them? Do you have a visual
reminder of what you want? Take it out of your head and
create a weight loss vision board.

A weight loss vision board is a great tool to consider a
work in progress as you lose weight, get closer to your
goal, change habits, experience successes along the way, or
even photographs. You can put photos of you, pictures from
magazines of a body that you'd like to achieve, meaningful
words or pictures from magazines that inspire or motivate
you. Anything that means something to you that will keep
you focused and serve as a reminder of your weight loss
goals can be placed on the board.

Have a photo taken of you once a month. As you lose
weight, place the photos reflecting your progress of a
smaller body size. Another tip is to wear the same clothes
each month for the photo. Again, as you lose weight,
you'll see the clothes becoming loose and then baggy. This
is another great way to keep motivated by seeing how far
you've come.

If you have a photograph of you at a smaller body size that
you want to return to, including it on your weight loss
vision board. If you see a photo with a body size you'd
like as your goal, cut it out. Place your face on that
body for a very motivating visual.

If you want to exercise more, cut pictures that motivate
you such as a toned body, a photo of someone exercising,
hiking, walking or running, or other mementos of
inspiration to you.

Make a graph of your starting weight and keep track of your
progress. Show your goal weight as well so you see
yourself moving closer and closer to it on your graph.

I have a client that has created her weight loss vision
board. She hung it in her kitchen which has been a very
effective way to stay on track. At times that she's been
tempted or even headed to the kitchen, she sees her weight
loss vision board front and center. It has saved her from
many extra calories and pounds, and kept her motivation and
confidence high that she will achieve her weight loss goal.

Make a visual reminder of motivation and inspiration by
creating your own weight loss vision board. Set up a
visual center that update and change regularly as you lose
weight. Have fun with it as you create it and update it to
reflect your personal change and weight loss. Be creative;
think out of the box in what you put on your weight loss
vision board. When it comes to any goals and success, see
it to believe it. When you see it - you can be it!
