Do you find yourself constantly setting new weight loss goals and working towards them immediately that you forget to celebrate each win once they are achieved?

A moving goalpost is one of the most common saboteurs for successful weight loss, and I get it—as humans, we are insatiable in our desire for more; we want to do more, be more, achieve more. But what we fail to notice is that it’s robbing us of the joy of this journey and that it’s setting us up for burnout!

We should learn how to celebrate our accomplishments—no matter how small—on our journey towards better health. Learn how to keep the moving goalpost from sabotaging your success in today’s episode of Health Bite.

 

What you’ll learn from this episode:

• Learn how to overcome burnout and achieve your goals by replacing the "moving goalpost" with a concrete plan and achievable milestones.
• Empower your weight loss journey with the compounding power of small wins, and learn to make it joyful and sustainable for long-lasting results.
• Find out how to achieve ultimate well-being in mind, body, and soul by developing a daily self-care routine, practicing mindfulness, and seeking professional help when needed.

“Allow for joy by celebrating yourself. I promise you that this tiny shift will not only make you happier in the process of achieving your goals but also more successful in obtaining them.”– Dr. Adrienne Youdim

 

Today’s Health Bite:

Manage this very human but also a very destructive tendency to move the goalpost with these action steps:

Step 1: Acceptance. See your goals as a process/journey. Focus not on the destination but on the moments. Understand that you’re a work in progress and that you never really fully arrive. Allow this truth to motivate you to keep moving forward

Step 2: Know that you’re not alone. We’re all in this together. Allow yourself to feel embraced by the collective experience. Take comfort in that truth.

Step 3: Celebrate your wins, no matter how small. When we celebrate our wins, we allow room for joy in the process, and when we allow joy, we pave a path to continuously move it forward. We are less likely to sabotage ourselves when we are engaged in these practices with joy.
