Hello-

If you want to lose 15 pounds the first thing you have to do is set a goal.  You have to write it down and fill in the blank above.

You have to say, “I will lose 15 pounds in 3 months!”  Sign the date and put the target date on it.  So if you want to lose 15 lbs before school starts again in the fall, you have to put that date as your target date.

So, I will lose 15 pounds by August 15th or whenever school starts again for you.  You get the idea.

Then, what you have to do is put that piece of paper where you can see if several times a day.

You should also make a small card and put it in your purse or wallet so you’ll always have it with you as a constant reminder of your goal.

Look at your goal card every morning when you wake up and every evening before you go to bed.

You can call it a goal card or you can call it a “Why card” and put why you want to lose 15 pounds in the first place.  Give yourself a good motivating reason for why you want to look better, feel better, get skinny, etc.

Maybe you want to look good, nothing wrong with that, vanity is not a bad thing here.

When you lose weight and people compliment you on how good you look, your confidence will increase and an increase in anyone’s self confidence can do wonders in many areas of your life.

After 30 days or so of looking at your card, you’ll start to think about eating healthier, adding some exercise to your day, and making better choices.

You’ll find that you’ll be more interested and motivated to do what needs to be done to lose weight.

Your mind will start conspiring to help you accomplish your goal.

So write down the date you are going to lose those 15 pounds by and also write down why you want to lose those pounds too.

This is the most important step in any weight loss plan.

Thanks for reading.

Have a great day!
