Question for you...whose fault is it that you’re
out of shape?
If you go by what you see in the media then you
probably believe that it’s anyone’s fault but yours. The big diet companies
think that if they put the blame on you, then you wouldn’t buy their bogus
pills. So they put the blame on your cortisol levels, your fast food diet, or
your busy schedule instead of where it belongs - which is squarely on your
shoulders.
Sure, you have obstacles that get in your way –
your schedule, your job, your kids, the weather, your knee injury from
college...but ultimately you have the body that you accept.
I’m going to repeat that so it will really sink
in.
You have the body that you accept.
Accepting the blame for your current body is not
a bad thing – it’s actually quite empowering. Think about it. If it really
wasn’t your fault, if it really was due to a long list of variables that you
have zero control over, then you’d be stuck. You’d have no way to change.
Lucky for you, it’s your fault :) So you have the
power to do something about it.
The Secret Behind ‘Before and After’ Pictures
Allow me to pull back the curtain for you on
something that the diet industry doesn’t want you to know. You’ve seen
countless before and after pictures documenting weight loss as a result of a
diet product. Well, there is more involved than just the diet product, and it’s
the same across the board.
Look into the eyes of any person in their before
picture and you’ll see that they are disturbed. The body they have is no longer
in sync with the body they can accept.
They changed the body that they accept.
Now look into their eyes in the after picture –
see the sweet satisfaction? They now own the body that they decided they could
accept. And what a great feeling that is.
Your Time To Transform
Whether you realize it or not, you already posses
everything you need to transform your body, but it all starts with taking
responsibility for the body that you have today. You have your current body
because until this moment you’ve been OK with it.
Oh sure, you aren’t thrilled with it, and you
even talk about losing weight and getting fit, but you haven’t changed what
you’ll accept. Here’s how to transform your body in 3 steps:
Step One: Get Disturbed
You’ve heard it said that emotion creates
motion. This is essential when it comes to losing weight. Just like those
folks in the before pictures, to transform your body you must first decide that
you can’t live another day in the body you currently have.
It’s time to get your emotions stirred up. Make a
list of all the reasons that you must lose weight and get fit. Get disturbed!
Step Two: Get Focused
Without clarity it’s very hard to get where you
want to go. Now that you’re disturbed with the body you have, it’s time to
decide what the body you can accept looks like.
I want you to think in concrete and specific
terms. Just like the captions under those before and after pictures -
"Suzy lost 25 lbs," "Mike lost 8 inches from his waist,"
"Jenny went from a size 18 to a size 6."
Get a clear picture in your mind of what you’ll
look like in your after picture and visualize what the caption will read.
Step Three: Get Moving
The time spent between your inspiration (now) and
your action determines whether you will succeed or fail. Don’t allow yourself
to get stuck between inspiration and action - there is always something
that you can do right now.
Don’t you agree that you’ll be happier living
life in a fit and healthy body, rather than one that is not? Of course you’ll
be happier.
I’ve helped clients just like you finally lose
their unwanted weight.
I am here to take you from your before picture to
your after picture, however, you need to bring something to the table – you
need to make up your mind about what you’ll accept of yourself.
What will you accept?
Got Stress?
Exercise is the number one thing that you can do
to relieve daily stress. A good workout will get your mind off of your bills,
your boss, and your endless responsibilities. It’s been said that if exercise
were a drug it would be the most powerful medication on earth!
