Here is another approach towards your weight-loss management journey. Yes, the semaglutide and tirzepatide injections will certainly aid in your efforts, however, weight-loss journey is as psychological as medicinal. Some strategies from the field of NLP, a scientific-based approach towards neuroplasticity, can help in your weight-loss journey. Often, one resorts to the achievement of their desires and wants to goal setting. While this is an old-centered approach in the way of accomplishing goals, its results are highly constricted due to being set on a specific result, and as such makes it hard for us to stick to our efforts on this journey.
On the other hand, keeping an outcome of “I want to yield an outcome of 120 lbs, is more achievable, as it allows us to watch our efforts on an incremental basis and make alterations according to observed results on our journey. For example, one of my clients in their weight-loss journey, when seeking a goal of 120lbs, makes dietary changes from eating white rice to brown rice, keeping the outcome SMART- Specific, Measurable, Action-oriented, Result-centered, and Time Specific; the outcome becomes easy to track and manage then.
In actionable terms, this is how the outcome looked-
Specific- Know the dietary change is white rice→ brown rice
Measurable- Measure the quantity of their daily intake
Action-Oriented- She made sure to act on it. Consume the food with the belief and intention of achieving the result
Result-Centered- Keep focus on the set outcome of 120 lbs.
Time-bound- Measure their weight change every 2 weeks.
Such an approach is the best way in which to be able to track the results and easily make changes/alterations.
