It was a bittersweet weekend for many parents. Camp started, proms and graduations. Endings and beginnings are what life is all about.
As we teach our children the travels of life, we are traveling down our own path as well. This summer I want you to stop for a moment and think about what it is that you want. What would you like to accomplish this summer. For many the answer will be to lose weight, or hit my goal weight, get healthy and be the best person I can be both mentally and physically. All wonderful thoughts, but as you know when it comes to weight loss it takes much more than just a thought to be successful. So now ask yourself this…How bad do you want it and How hard are you willing to work for it?
You see, everyone wants to lose weight. Everywhere you go people talk about it. It’s usually while they are drinking and eating, but they are talking about it. The problem is not everyone is willing to put the work in to get it. But if losing weight and being healthy is what you really want then you have to turn your WANTS into WORK. You have to promise yourself that you will work for it everyday because it means that much to you. You have to promise that you will not give up when it gets hard or challenging. And of course it’s going to get hard and challenging…..If it was easy, everyone would be doing it. Remember anything in life that is worth something is going to be hard and challenging to achieve. But that doesn’t mean you can’t do it. It just means you have to WORK for it.
Don’t let the end of the summer come and you look back and say I should have, could have, wish I did. Now 10 lbs heavier going into the fall and winter. NO NOT AGAIN! Take this summer and make a commitment to yourself, to your family and those you love. We all know that when we are not happy with who we are, and how we feel, it’s the people we love around us who suffer for it. This summer, make the commitment and put the work in to change.
The solution to weight loss is NOT HARD. The solution to weight loss is EASY. You follow your menu, ask questions and lose weight. You see, it’s not the solution that is the hard part – It’s the journey. It’s the temptations that surround you everyday. It’s the parties, the barbecue, the events. It’s making the choice to not have the bread on the table or the extra glass of wine. It’s the excuse you give yourself everyday that you will start next week, next month and before you know it, it’s next year and you are another 10lbs heavier then the prior year.
But if you set your mind to it and work hard toward it and believe and understand that it has to be the most important thing to you — you will have success.
Life is always about choices. Good choices and bad choices. And every choice we make decides where we are going and who we will be. If you want success then you have to make the choice to be successful.
This summer make the choice to be successful.
