What’s your mission in life? And how would it be better served if you were thinner and healthier? What gives you meaning and purpose? Just as a business benefits from creating a mission statement, so do we benefit from outlining our life’s mission as clearly as possible. Feel free to edit and adjust it to get it just right – run it by people and come back to it over a few days. Once you have done that, consider how you could accomplish your goals if you were to take better care of yourself, or be liberated from being overweight.
