When it comes to losing weight, the hardest part of all is
making an unbreakable promise to yourself to actually stop
just thinking about it and actually get down to business
and just plain do it.
Once you've made the decision there should be no turning
back, no doubt in your mind that you will go the full
course no matter what gets in your way. Solutions instead
of problems, right?
Actually getting to that point though is a challenge for
many people.
Most people, answering honestly, would like to lose *some*
weight even if not a lot.
Very few people actually succeed though - even among those
who seem to start off on the right foot.
They start a diet or go for a run but within days or weeks
they are back to their old self.
How come?
The answer is that they weren't 100% behind their
conviction.
It was a bit like playing the lottery. We'd all like to be
rich but very few people are willing to put the time and
effort in to achieving that goal so they'd rather spend a
few dollars pointlessly on the lottery each week looking
for the easy route out.
Unfortunately as unfashionable as it is to say - getting
rich, like losing weight, isn't easy. Otherwise everyone
would be think and rich.
But doiing things half-heatedly won't get you to the
tipping point. Absolute focus and determination will.
So, the key is getting to the tipping point - the point
where you honestly believe nothing will stop you. Where
every traffic light is green.
And the only way to get to that place is from inside.
You need to work on yourself. Because attitute is 90% of
the battle.
So take some time with a notepad and pen to write down why
you think you're not totally focused on the goal.
Realistically what has to change for you to reach that
tipping point? Make an honest list. You don't have to show
it to anyone, it's just for you, so list every point, every
concern, every problem you can as honestly as possible.
Do you think you'll fail? Are you scared of going to the
gym? Do you worry you'll miss your favorite foods too much?
Do you think you're too busy to fit exercise into your
daily routine?
Keep going for as long as it takes to get everything down,
then it's time to work out ways to smash through those
barriers.
You know yourself better than anyone else so work out a
solution for each of your concerns - how could you really
turn them around?
Then one at a time, make those changes you worked out. Keep
plugging away.
It might take hours. For others it could take months.
But if you're honest with yourself and look inside deep
enough you will come out the other side at that verty
tipping point that will make you invincible.
Best of luck, and I look forward to seeing you there.
