Previoiusly, my goals were too far into the future: i.e. I'll lose 20 pounds by swimsuit season, and too vague: i.e. I'll start walking again. Well, I think I need to get "tunnel vision" for a defined period of time.

In the EatingWell Diet, setting specific and attainable goals is a key to success. What are some of the very specific goals that you've set to help you meet your ultimate goal of shedding pounds? How is this goal-setting approach different from others you've used in the past? EatingWellNicci, Charlotte, VT — Anonymous	09/01/2009 - 5:38pm
