Weight Loss Are You Really Ready?

Weight Loss Starting Your Journey

Weight loss isn’t about dieting, it’s about consciously changing to positive habits.  But are you really ready? You might want to ask yourself these questions to check in with your determination:-

1.        Why are you doing this?

2.        How much are your committed – score commitment out of 10

3.        How much do you want to lose?  And by when? Be specific

4.        Don’t rely on willpower – don’t buy it / don’t see it

5.        Where you might have relied on food for boosts, comforts are rewards, what non food rewards can you use?

6.        Who can you buddy up with to support you?  If no one, then consider extra support from myself via WhatsApp

7.        Keep a detailed food diary that is shared weekly

8.        You will go wrong, but don’t sabotage the whole day – use your food diary as a reflective practice and then move on without shame or guilt

9.        Are you a sugar addict?  i.e. can you eat just one biscuit or a handful of crisps or once you start you can’t stop?  In which case I will help you remove sugar completely

10.  Don’t get overwhelmed – let’s choose one step at a time e.g. planning or movement, and one meal at a time

11.  Allow time for cooking and prepping – not much – 10 mins for lunch, 30 mins for dinner.  Reframe it so rather than it be a chore, you play music or listen to a podcast

12.  The aim is to remove snacks.  First we will replace unhealthy snacks with healthier one, then as meals become more balanced with good timings we can remove them.  If you are someone who picks when you cook then let’s have some raw veg ready for this

13.  If you find that you sabotage your efforts often, is this something you REALLY WANT?  Or something you SHOULD do?  Are there any downsides to achieving your goal

14.  Does your environment align with your goals?
