Steps to Slimness

About the deck

A deck about the road to the goal, broken into steps of a size a person can actually manage.

The deck holds 128 metaphorical associative cards: 64 cards with recommendations and advice on what to do to get rid of excess weight, and 64 motivator cards.

The motivators bring up the themes of health, appearance, willpower and beauty and support the decision to go all the way, while the recommendations answer the question of where exactly to start.

The recommendations in the deck are both psychological and behavioral, so the work shows straight away where the emphasis belongs: on discipline or on the inner reason.

The deck can be used as an inspiring, diagnostic, clarifying, deepening and supporting tool in counseling, coaching and psychological transformation games, and it is the core deck of the transformation game “Steps to Slimness”.

With the “Steps to Slimness” deck you can

• see which first steps to take toward your goal
• gain resource and inspiration to move
• understand and clear the psychological blocks on the way to the goal
• understand what to correct in your behavior for the weight to start going down
• understand what kept every previous attempt from going further
• build your own plan for working on yourself
• decide where the emphasis belongs: on discipline or on the psychological part
• foresee where breakdowns are likely and prepare for them in advance
• tell a step you can manage from one that is still too big
• reach the goal in small steps instead of starting over again on Monday

Questions to ask the deck

Work starts from these questions. Choose one, the one that speaks to you more strongly than the rest, and work with it, because only one step is worked through well in a single session.

2. Where exactly can I start doing it?
3. What difficulties may come up along the way?
4. What will support me in carrying out this step?
5. Who can help me with it?
6. Do I see that this is a step toward my goal, and am I ready to take it?
7. Which first three actions will I take this week?
8. Which step will be the hardest for me, and why?
9. What did I do in my previous attempts that did not work?
10. How will I know that I am moving in the right direction?
