How Small Wins Can Lead to Big Weight Loss Success

Professor Joseph is an experienced Consultant Physician in Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Obesity Management, specialising in Type 2 and Type 1 diabetes.

Shaping is a behavioural technique in which you select a series of short-term goals that get closer and closer to the ultimate goal (e.g., an initial reduction of fat intake from 40% of calories to 35% of calories, and later to 30%). It is based on the concept that "nothing succeeds like success."

Shaping uses two important behavioural principles:

  1. consecutive goals that move you ahead in small steps are the best way to reach a distant point
  2. Consecutive rewards keep the overall effort invigorated.

Reward Success

(But Not with Food!)

  • An effective reward is something that is desirable, timely, and dependent on meeting your goal! The rewards you choose may be material (e.g., a movie or music CD, or a payment toward buying a more costly item) or an act of self-kindness (e.g., an afternoon off from work or just an hour of quiet time away from family).
  • Frequent small rewards, earned for meeting smaller goals, are more effective than bigger rewards that require a long, difficult effort.
