1- Be specific. I want to lose weight or I want nice abs just won’t cut it.  I want to lose 15 pounds of fat or get into a size two dress works much better.

2- Be realistic. Reality is relative and we have some degree of control over our own reality. Having said that, trying to lose 10 pounds of fat  in ten days requires additional calorie expenditure of about 35,000 calories. Can it be done? Yes. A 200 pound guy playing squash for three and a half hours per day can do it.

3- Verifiable results. Can the scale, tape measure and body fat percentage devices verify the result.

4- Time-bound. Exactly when is this goal must be completed?

Let me give you an example.

“I will reduce my body fat percentage by 2% point by October 15th.”

To achieve this goal, you need three things.

1- Change of self image. If you look in the mirror and accept what you see the only way you can be, then your activities will gravitate toward keeping that image in place. This is great if you are happy with what you see. If not, find an image, cut it and paste it on your mirror and visualize yourself as  that. This is not the end of the story but it will create a mental anchor for you to change your activities.

2- Think from the end. See yourself at the point you want to be and then look back at the steps you took to get there. Don’t say, I am here how do I get there. Say I am here (your destination) what did I do to get here. This allows you to  begin to identify with your goal more and more and with your present condition less and less.

3- From a Spiritual Master I learned that you need to fill that image with unbound love.  I am yet to see a person who wants to transform who feels complete love for himself or herself. Usually the obstacle in the way is connected to their ability to find themselves worthy of self respect and self love.  Spiritual Masters say that unbound love removes all limitations. So fill your image of change with unbound love.

4- Write down the steps in your plan and follow them.

To help out we offer body transformation contests. This is not to replace the real goal but to help as a guidepost to help you see that you have arrived. The real prize is the change.
