The Ultimate Kettlebell Training & Fat Loss Book
Chapter 2: What Do I Do Now? To make any diet a successful one, you need to be committed to it. Only with the right mind set can you reach success. To prepare yourself, you need to know what stage you are in before you can move on the next stage of your diet. It might not be obvious but it is there. The First stage is pre-contemplation. You do not see yourself as being over-weight. You do not feel like changing yourself. Only strong pressure will lead you to seek help. But then you would resist and just be demoralized as you see your own situation as hopeless. Second is contemplation. This is where you acknowledge that you have an over-weight problem and start to think of a solution. But you are not willing to perform that solution. You would just think about it, knowing what actions to take to make a change but never ready to do so. You will procrastinate about performing the solution. Third is preparation. You've finally decided to do something about your overweight problem. You move on from brooding about your problem to realizing your solution. You would also start to think about the future where you are slimmer and feeling much healthier. But at this stage you are not fully committed yet. You would still have second thoughts about the solution as it requires you to change your lifestyle. Fourth is action. You start to take action in losing weight. You would start choosing the food you eat and do some form of exercise every day. It is the first step in achieving your targeted goal. You should always set goals when losing weight. If you don't set your goals, then it's very possible that your whole dieting plan might not go the way you imagine it.
