THE CC DIET: ADOPTING A 'STRETCH TARGET'

In business, if you want to achieve a target, it's worth setting a 'stretch target' that even if slightly breached will still achieve the master target.  The technique can also be used in personal matters too.

On Saturday I said I wanted to get back on track to be losing three pounds a day by saying "I have ... achieved my daily target on some days, so the challenge now is to do so every day."

To better guarantee that, my 59Cs daily target is now 49Cs.  That not only encourages me to eat less, but encourages me to exercise more.  Good, light exercise, but nonetheless enough to let me enjoy a broad diet.

Will this approach work?  So far so good.  As long as that jar of peanut butter is well hidden!
