The Only One That Matters is YOU!

There are so many reasons that people go on diets or start an exercise program. They may want to look good for a vacation, family pictures, class reunion or any other event where they don't want to look "bad". Other reasons are because someone says something to them. It could be someone being mean or someone who means good. It could be a friend, a spouse or even your doctor.

Most, and I mean close to all, fail to accomplish their goal or stay at the proper weight. It is because they are not doing it for the most important reason. YOU!

You have to want to do it for yourself, not for someone else. If you want it, you can do it properly and stay with it. This is the number one reason why people who have become successful at maintaining a healthy weight stay there with little to no trouble.

A case in point is from the show "The Biggest Loser" which just ended the season a couple of days ago. A couple of weeks back, one of the trainers (Bob) was trying to explain to one of the women that she needs to want to lose the weight for herself, not just to win the game. He used the first season winner as an example. That person was so intent on 'playing the game' that when he left the show, he didn't know what to do. He gained all of the weight he had lost plus!

To add more to this point, the woman who won was not concerned with the game. Her first priority was to repair her relationship with her mother. She accomplished that and realized that as they got deeper into the season. Her second focus was on losing the weight. This became her only focus after her mother was voted off. She wanted to feel better about herself. The result was that she lost almost half her body weight. The women who was so intent on winning the game came in third.

Bottom line, look deep down inside. If you are overweight you know you have some problems. Look to find what causes you to eat poorly. Don't say that you are happy with yourself if you are overweight to obese. You are lying to yourself and anyone else you say this to. But that doesn't matter. You need to want to get healthy for yourself.

Once you have decided this, act on it. My monthly newsletter will be available next week. It will guide you to a better and happier lifestyle. It is going to be an easy transition. No diets, bland or complicated foods. No spending hours in gyms or running miles and miles. It will become second nature and you will wonder why you didn't do this before.

Stay tuned to this blog for the release of my web site.
