Nothing but a Number: Refocusing Your Goals to Achieve Optimal Health

by Andrea L. Mosher

“If I could just drop ten more pounds…”
“When I reach my goal weight, I will feel better about myself…”
“I just want to weigh what I weighed in high school…”

The comments could go on and on, but we soon realize that “weight” is viewed as a top measure of health and self-image.  Whether aiming to bulk up or slim down, many fitness plans start with trying to achieve a certain set of digits on the scale. While that may seem like a logical approach, focusing on a scale reading can leave us far short of truly optimizing overall health.  Refocusing our goals on more diverse components fitness and nutrition, rather than just a specific weight, optimizes our opportunities to enjoy an abundant, healthy life.

Goal One: Be Limitless
It’s not about saying, “I can’t eat this,” or “I’m only valuable if I weigh this much.” We have the opportunity to trek through concrete jungles with nothing but an iPod, eat exotically nutritious fruits, and explore the depths of our willpower in the weight room. If we take advantage of the things we CAN do, the choices that aren’t as beneficial seem much less attractive.  When we make the decision to create goals based on overall health, instead of a weight point, we are making the decision to remove the limits from our life.

Instead of stressing about finally eating that last slice of cheesecake that had been eyeing you for the last two nights, think about what you CAN do!  Lace up your shoes and put your soles to the pavement.  Refocus and do something positive for yourself, and use that positivity to motivate your future challenges.

Your Re:Action ? Think about something you perceive as negative to your health goals. Now, think about something positive you can focus on instead.
