CHANGE IS HARD!
I think one thing we all know bout losing weight – IT’S REALLY HARD! It’s hard work if you want to see results it has to be treated like a job and a priority. Many of the clients who are on the path of losing consistently and those who have reached their goal say it over and over – IT’S HARD! It takes constant thinking and planning. There is so much temptation in the world that if you stop thinking about it for one second you can lose it all very quickly.
While it would be nice to live in a world where we can eat what we want and not let it bother us when we are overweight and unhealthy – the truth is we can’t and it’s really not what we want and more importantly it’s not how we want to feel. We want to be healthy and we want to feel good and we want to put on the size that makes us happy – and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. You were to put on this earth to indulge in everything in front of you whenever you feel like it. There are all kinds of temptation everyday that we have to walk away from and food and alcohol should be no different – especially since it has such a big influence on your mental and physical health.
We know how amazing eating clean feels and we know how awesome being on program is and the results are beyond amazing – but at the end of the day it’s still very hard. It requires a life change and it requires walking away from temptation. It requires being out at parties and/or celebrations and choosing the right options. Having one drink instead of 3. All the things that you would normally do that didn’t make you feel great to begin with now have to be controlled. These are the habits that need to be broken. The only way to break them is to be consistent in what you are doing. Eventually it all gets easier and it becomes a way of life. While you are learning that life you are losing weight and feeling great. Again it’s not always going to be easy – but it is always going to be worth it.
I can tell you first hand – we talk to thousands of clients everyday. Both Men and Women and it’s always the same – the clients that follow are just so happy. They feel great, they look great, and their confidence is so high. It shows in how they live, work, and most important in how they feel and treat others. Weight loss and/or gain is something that is 90% of people have to deal with daily. I think we can all agree when you don’t do the right things by yourself and your body it’s not going to only affect you – it’s going to affect how you feel about yourself inside and out, and that will affect how you work, your family, how you treat others and how you love others. Everything starts with you and how you feel and how you are treating your body. If you are doing the right things for yourself mentally and physically it will be life changing on how you feel, your happiness, and how you live your life. But it doesn’t make it easy. Life is full of challenges and while eating clean is a challenge – it’s the results that you want to focus on. The results of how it makes you feel to live healthy and in a body that you love.
My final thoughts today: Constantly remind yourself what you want and where you want to be this summer. This is the time of year that should be most inspiring and motivating to you. We have shorts, bathing suits, tank tops and sun dresses coming out in jut a couple of months and depending on Mother Nature it could be weeks. You want to be be ready and feel good. you want to be in a bathing suit at the beach and you want to walk around in shorts and a tank top. Most important you want to be and feel healthy from the inside out. You want to live the life of balance every week. The only way to do this and to get the results you want is to stay on program. When you do you lose weight every week. Stay on your path, enjoy the journey, and you will get to a happy place and you will feel great.
The program is life changing but you have to be willing to change your life to see and feel the results
