Make Weight Loss Magic Happen in 2007

02-Feb-07


Well, we are 33 days into the New Year. How is your Resolution going? If you are like most Americans, your life has taken over and your Resolution is already out the window. Did you know that only about 20% of people who set weight loss as their New Year’s Resolution ever reach their goal? We want you to be part of that 20%. So we wanted to discuss what it takes to fulfill a goal. It takes 3 things to be successful in any pursuit:

  • Belief
  • The Right Technology
  • Follow Through

You need to believe that whatever change you are going to make is going to work. If you don’t believe it, then it certainly won’t work.

How many attempts have you made at reducing your weight? For years many people attempt to lose weight and just can’t seem to do it or they will have some success and then reach a point where results have seemed to stop. After many attempts and coming up short your belief in ever being fit again is very low. Each time we fail to accomplish a set goal our belief drops more and more with each failed attempt. There is a part of each of us that has a voice that says “I Can” and another voice that not only says “I Can’t” but literally screams “I Can’t” in our heads. It’s so easy for us to listen to the “I Can’t” voice because it is so easy to give in. This year focus on the “I Can”. Tell yourself you believe. Saying it out loud and repeatedly will increase the chances that it will indeed happen.
