Focus on Process Goals

Many people who are attempting to lose weight only set outcome goals, or objectives that they want to achieve at the end of the journey. Your final target weight is usually an end objective. However, concentrating solely on the end result might derail your motivation. They might be too distant at times, leaving you feeling overwhelmed.

Instead, you should create process goals or the steps you'll take to get your intended result. Exercising four times a week is an example of a process objective. When compared to those who concentrated solely on weight loss outcomes, those who focused on the process were more likely to lose weight and less likely to break from their diets, according to a study of 126 overweight women participating in a weight loss program. To set strong goals, consider using SMART goals (SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time-based). The following are some examples of SMART goals: Next week, I'll go for a 30-minute brisk walk five days a week; This week, I'm going to eat four servings of vegetables every day; This week, I'm just going to drink one soda.
