Lose weight, Are you Kidding?

Don't laugh, Most people who say they want to lose weight don't really want to BE thin. If I could make you thin in an instant, how long would you remain thin?


Here's the dare: Name someone, same sex, approximately the same age as yourself who looks now like you want to look like. Watch that person for a day or two. What is their life like? What do they eat? Look in their refrigerator/ cabinets. What do they order in restaurants? Then compare it to your own.


Chances are they have made exercise a non-negotiable. They exercise nearly every day and with high intensity some of that time. They probably don't sit for long periods of time. They look at food differently. They also have discovered that they must be wise in food selection which means limiting some very delicious but unnecessary foods. They eat vegetables! I'd also wager they don't eat out as often as the average person. They are probably sicker less often, and have more daily energy. More likely than not they have good self esteem.


Most people who want to lose weight are kidding- themselves. We all want the attractive appearance, but until we are ready to adopt the behaviors that will both help us achieve thinner and maintain that healthy bodyweight- we are only ready for the annual January resolution frustration year after year.


Change is very hard. Look at what is different about your experience and the people who live a "thin/healthy lifestyle" And you can forget the "21 days to form a habit mantra". It takes at least a year of consistent pattern to form a lifestyle. That is the point you kick the new years resolution pattern forever.


So are you ready to be thin?
