As a loose example for dieting, that would mean a Jewish person probably wouldn't choose to replace red meat with pork even if it meant getting to their desired weight faster. <b>E</b> for Emotional which you touched on under one of your points. This is where you ensure you have an emotional attachment to the goal. This could be a reward, or a penalty, depending on how you want to enforce your own compliance with your goals!

You must remember you didn't get fat over night. It took time to put on the pounds and it will take time to take it off right. I stress to take it off right because you can take it off fast and wrong but it will come back even faster and you will have even a harder time to get rid of the fat.
