One Day At A Time

Weight loss, can sometimes feel like you're running on a hamster wheel doesn't it?  You lose, you gain.  You lose, you gain.  But it just doesn't seem like you can get yourself 'there.'

Am I right?

When I speak with new clients, people that take my classes, or my struggling clients, I ask them.  Are you INTERESTED in losing weight, or are you COMMITTED to losing weight?  Ask yourself that same question.  Maybe you aren't sure.  You may say with conviction, "why yes, of course I am committed to losing weight."  But are you?  You see, there is a BIG difference between these two words.  When you are interested in doing something, you do it only when it is convenient. When you are COMMITTED to something, YOU ACCEPT NO EXCUSES; ONLY RESULTS...Make sense? So ask yourself, are you interested or are you committed in weight loss? The way you approach this & your attitude is EVERYTHING! Maybe it's time to COMMIT

Don't be so hard on yourself because you haven't lost ALL of the weight.  Try something different.  Give yourself 24 hours at a time.  Be successful one day at a time.  Focus on just that ONE day.  Each day that you succeed, I promise you will become more and more confident.  But first I want you to stop beating yourself up.  Stop it.  Because everytime you are beating yourself up, you are causing yourself stress.  Stress loves fat.  Stress can cause us to hold onto that weight.  Take some time today, it's a beautiful Easter Sunday.  Be thankful today and re-evaluate your goals and your thinking.  Make tomorrow a new day.  But today LIFT YOURSELF UP and be COMMITTED!
