When you want to begin any program or diet perhaps it would be prudent to take a pen or pencil and write down what you want from this endeavour. We like to begin with the faintest of hope like this could be what I’m looking for or maybe this one will work for me. But have you really decided to commit or are you pretending. See if we don’t write anything down or tell anyone then nobody will know if we quit and like I said if we don’t write anything down then I’m not bound to it either. Why not look at it another way and instead of pretending to do something like diet or exercise, why not commit by  putting down on paper some GOALS and things we want. There is power in the pen as they say and by making it legible we push it into our subconscious which is where great things begin to happen. The greatest  goal achiever in the world John Goddard has accomplished 550 major goals by writing them down and visualizing them to make them happen. The same thing might work for you  if you give it time. The key word again is time and this is where we short change the system. We don’t write things down and we don’t give things enough time to work out for us. Another system that has come out recently about weight loss is that if you carry and pen and paper and write down everything you eat or drink a day then you begin to think about your choices about what and where you are eating. This makes sense since we do things by habit and I’ve always maintained the someone who is heavy does not realize how much or of what kinds  of foods they eat as long as it taste good.  I have seen many people at work who by first break downing a large chocolate milk and some sweats and also seen a coke and butter tart for breakfast. Same in Disney World where the young children are into the pop by breakfast. They don’t even realize what or how much sugar that is being consumed.  So is a pen or pencil valuable for this case, I would think priceless because at the end of a day or week you would be shocked at the food consumption and cost and to put down in ink some goals for yourself might be just what the doctor ordered.
