In order to be truly committed to your goals, they must be straightforward, worthy and achievable. We too often fail at following through with a goal because it is simply too vague or unrealistic. Instead of saying I want to lose weight before my high school reunion, be more specific by saying, "I want to lose 30 pounds by the time of my reunion. If I start now and lose two pounds a week by watching my diet and exercising, I will have lost the 30 pounds and will look and feel good at my reunion." This is a worthy goal with purpose as well as achievable and will inspire motivation to lose the weight.
