Unreasonable goal: 20 lbs weight loss in one setting.
Problem: This goal is too large and, thus, unrealistic.
Solution: Break down the goal into smaller, more manageable pieces.
Breaking down large goals leads to more attainable targets.
This approach makes the overall goal more achievable and sustainable over time.
Example: Instead of aiming for 20 lbs weight loss, consider smaller, incremental goals like 1 lb (or even .5 lb) weekly weight loss.
Smaller goals provide motivation, track progress, and prevent feeling overwhelmed.
This method of breaking down a task into more manageable parts improves the chances of success.
The concept is applicable to many aspects of life, beyond just weight loss.
