COME UP WITH A PLAN/GOAL.
Making a plan is a very important part of your journey to losing weight. Without a realistic and doable plan, having a dream can only get you so far. Your plan doesn’t have to be super hard or a complex one. Just sit down and write in a blank piece of paper the steps you are going to take to achieve your goal.
I personally would advise you to come up with plans that lasts 30 to 60 days. From experience, I find it easier to stick with my plan and develop good habits after I have achieved a small victory. I learned that change is all about discipline and how hard it is to eliminate bad habits that are intervening with your ability to reach your full potential.
Here are some examples of some plans you might find helpful in your journey to lose weight.
1. Drink up to 1 gallon of water every day.
2. Avoid processed foods.
3. Limit your intake of processed sugar.
4. Don’t eat anything after 8pm.
5. Go to the gym or exercise in your home 3 – 5 days a week.
6. Add more healthy protein and different varieties of vegetables to your diet.
7. Fast intermittently.
8. Get enough sleep.
9. Do cardio.
10. Eat fruits.

The examples above are some of the basic and most known simple ways to get in the habit of losing weight. If you do all those things I mentioned above for 60 days straight, I guarantee you will not need any more motivation or incentive to lose weight. Instead you will be completely obsessed with the results and you will find it easier to tackle down any goals you set.
I will admit I was very surprised and had this feeling of nothing is impossible after I completed my first ever plan to lose weight. I came up with a diet and exercise plan for 30 days and ended up losing 22lbs. I believe that was the moment I was convinced anything can be achieved through planning and dedication.
