Bending with the Winds of Change

The Weight-Loss Skill: Setting realistic goals that allow for flexibility.

The Challenge: We may have unrealistic expectations of ourselves and the weight-loss process, leading us to set lofty goals that may be impossible to achieve. Then, when we don’t achieve our goals, we tend to procrastinate and get self-critical; we may grow frustrated and eventually give up.

The Solution: In this week’s meeting, we will explore ways to set goals that are flexible and allow room for setbacks. With flexible goals, we are more likely to react to slip-ups by adjusting our behavior rather than by criticizing ourselves and getting frustrated. And by making adjustments to our behavior, we create more opportunities for success.
