Before you start on any weight loss and or fitness regime, ensure you are mentally prepared. You do this by thinking about the changes you want to make, visualizing how you’d like to look. Conjuring a mental image of how you’d like to look works for some people, for others it’s thinking about all the things they’ll be able to do; for example being able to go to the beach wearing a bikini, playing football with friends or running around with their children. Whatever your motivation, thinking about them will mentally prepare you and this will begin to make your weight loss goals a reality.⁠

This is the time to be honest with yourself and we mean, really honest. What do you want to change? Do you really want to even change, or are you being pressurised? Do you just want to learn to accept yourself the way you are? Your answers will determine your course of action, which is why it is paramount that you are honest. ⁠

Thinking about the type of relationship you have with your body will reveal a lot about the way you feel about yourself. It can be eye opening to hear how some people feel about themselves. Once you’ve identified the type of relationship you have with your body, think about how long you have felt this way. Some of our members were shocked at how hostile they felt about themselves. Some realised that the taunts they’d heard at school had stayed with them. This is when you need to begin to develop a kinder and more positive relationship with yourself. ⁠

Listing your weight loss goals has been scientifically proven to help your brain see them as being more real. It will also help you identify if your goals are realistic, if they are coming from you, or if you are trying to achieve something to make someone else happy. It is paramount that you own your weight loss goals, otherwise, it just won’t work⁠

Once you’ve identified your goals, it is paramount you make your body goals achievable. This is where you begin to rewire your brain and the mental image you have in your mind. Thank your body for looking after you, and depending on where you are in your life’s journey, accept and prepare fair goals. If you’ve just had a baby, understand that your body will take some time to go back to where you were at some time, for a lot of women, the body changes permanently. This is not a bad sign, as we grow and mature, our bodies change. It can place a great strain on you mentally if you want to have the same body you had 10, 15, 20 years ago. Don’t get me wrong, for some of you this is achievable, and for some it’s not. It’s important for you to realise which category you fall under. It is also important to ensure the goals you set are achievable for your body shape, height etc. ⁠

Identifying what might stop you achieving your goals is key to helping you overcome those obstacles. If you have tried a weight loss plan in the past, analyse what stopped you achieving your overall goal. Once you have identified what they are, make a note of them and look at analysing each reason separately. ⁠
