About 6 months ago, I was in a big box store and took a look at the clearance section in men’s clothing department. There wasn’t much stuff for bigger guys, except a few pairs of pants. One of the pair caught my eye. They were stylish and the right price (being on clearance). I tried them on and they were a little snug, but since they were so cheap, I decided to buy them and make them my goal pants. I was going to get into good enough shape to wear them.

They hung in my closet for the last six months. I tried them on three times and they were as snug as when I first bought them. I have lost several pounds over the last three weeks so I gave them another try this morning. They fit!!! Not only do they fit, they fit great and they look great. I took another big step and wore them to work.

My attitude and outlook on the day was fantastic. I was wearing my goal pants! This is a victory! I’m pumped up, I’m motivated and focused. Today was a great day and well worth a moral celebration.

Ok…party over. Time to set a new short-term weight loss goal. I don’t need a pair of pants this time though. My mindset is different, I have more focus.

When people embark on a weight loss journey, their goal is usually for the long-term. By setting and accomplishing short-term goals, you will reach the finish line.

Be well. Feel Great.
