For some of us the first part of the year means making a commitment to start a new project, learn a new skill or lose weight. Like many resolutions we start with enthusiasm and then after a period of weeks or months the resolution is forgotten and we are back to our old ways.

Be it weight loss or learning a new language the key, in my estimation, is making a “conscious commitment” to reach a specific goal. If you do this, then you will be successful. What is this “Conscious Commitment” and why is it important?

We often have desires or wishes but these are only thoughts. Now this is fine because every goal starts with a thought but reaching a successful goal also includes a written plan of action. It then requires the motivation to follow through until the goal is met.

The Steps:

Thought: I want to lose weight.

Action 1: Set a realistic goal of losing a specific number of pounds by a certain date.

Action 2: Write this specific goal on paper and put it on your mirror, give a copy to your
spouse or best friend. Now you have made a “conscious commitment”

Action 3: Research the best way to start.

A) talk to your doctor,
B) decide what not to eat – stop eating un-necessary sugar, limit or eliminate
soft drinks, and limit certain carb intake, etc.
C) Daily review your goal (on the mirror)

Action 4: Follow through every day eating only what is on your written plan. The plan
should include all of the food groups, even fats, in moderation. This may
include a nutritious meal replacements for breakfast and/or dinner or three
small portion meals.

Action 5: Fruit or yogurt snack between meals so that you eat something every three
hours or so.

Action 6: Reduce daily stress. It is stress that urges us to eat that doughnut or extra
snack that is less than nutritious.

Action 7: Appropriate Exercise - What is appropriate? Best discussed with your doctor.

Action 8: Celebrate your successes large or small. This “conscious” reminder helps to
motivate you and encourages you to continue your program.

Action Steps 4- 8 must continue for a minimum of 30 consecutive days to mentally establish the habit. Even when you meet your goal you want to continue to maintain your ideal weight forever.

Weight Loss – Psychological?

Absolutely! What ever you want and “consciously” concentrate on daily you can achieve.

Review: Take 100 % Responsibility for Your Life” 1st Success Principle – ( The
Success Principles by Jack Canfield)

Make a “Conscious Commitment to Change” with a written goal and action
plan.

Daily follow the plan and celebrate your successes. Then continue modifying
and improving the goal as needed or desired.

Ok, Ok, How do you know this works?

The answer is my wife and I have lost weight and we are working to maintain what we feel is an ideal or desired weight. Neither of us was seriously overweight but we both had weight to lose.

One day my wife said “enough is enough”. Actually she said it in Spanish. She made a conscious decision to change her eating habits. Our meals included fried foods and this was causing my wife’s acid reflux and gall bladder problems. We gave up the fried foods and watched the quality and quantity of our meals. We both gave up soft drinks (wife – Diet Coke aholic) and switched mainly to water and certain fruit juices and tea. My wife also has some coffee from time to time but really she has milk with some coffee added.

I replaced breakfast with a protein shake with fruit; ate a reasonable lunch and a small dinner in the early evening. We both take natural supplements to help provide all the vitamins and minerals we need and a natural formula to help reduce the daily stress and reduce the desire to snack.

The Results: I have lost 10 lbs and an inch in my waist. My wife has lost 24 lbs, 2 inches in the waist and her arms and hands. She has to be careful not to lose her rings.

I wish you the best of health and happiness. Norm Odell
