| TOTAL LOST THIS WEEK |
HANDY HINT: If you're going to eat dessert serve it on a saucer so the serving size looks bigger, and eat it with a teaspoon to make it last longer. Savour every bite. |

| GETTING STARTED From time to time we all have big ideas but getting started is a problem. Losing exces weight is no exception. I've lost count of the times I have told myself it was time to get serious about dropping a few kilos, only to give up because I was overwhelmed by the big picture. It just seemed like too much of a fight to get where I wanted. The secret is to take baby steps. First Step This is so obvious it's scary. The first thing you need to do is set your ultimate goal. But this has to be realistic. It's no good thinking you'd like to get to 55kg when you're 6ft tall, unles you want to stand in the garden for the rest of your life with beans growing up your legs. So for anyone who hasn't done this yet - work out your ultimate goal. Step Two Break your goal down into mini goals. Most people look at 5kg as their first goal. It's a lot more achievable than trying for 25kg. If you still think 5kg is a big chunk take it down to 2kg. You have a better chance of success if the first goal is within reach. Step Three You've set your main goal and your mini goal. So now you need the motivation. Find something to keep you going. A photo of when you were slimmer A money box with a picture of what you want on the side. Put a few dollars in ther each time you reach your mini goal. A photo of your kids on the fridge door. Anything that gives you that reason to keep going. Step Four Look at how you are going to achieve that first mini goal. Are you going to count points with Weight Watcher, make that positive decision to cut out all those sweet treats you snack on all day or pull out those low carb books that are stashed in the back of the cupboard. Step Five Well, now there's only one thing left to do ... GO FOR IT!!!!! And make it FUN |
