Lose the fat fast: step 1

Lose the fat fast

So your ready to change your lifestyle. Your ready to become a new person. So where do you start? There are two starting points- yourself, and knowledge. I will focus on looking at yourself in this post.

So, before you begin, its time to take a look at yourself. If your going to succeed in this new lifestyle, your motives and goals must be correct. Otherwise you will certainly flounder. My first and most important question to you is- How much do you want this?

If you want it a lot, turn back now. That’s not good enough. What I ‘want’ is for you to ‘need’ it. I need you to have the passion, the intensity, the desire, the determination. I want you to come to a point where you will accept nothing but victory, even if it takes you your life to achieve it.

This is the core of body building and fitness. It is what separates those who look great from those who stare longingly at the small swimsuit she has always wanted to wear, or the hot babe he has always wanted to talk to.

I don’t claim to be a mind reader, but I’d guess the next question on your mind is- How do I get to this stage? How do I know if I am there?

There is no sure method I can lay out for you. I can only try to inspire you, and from there it is up to each individual to consult him or herself and determine whether he or she will commit to this new lifestyle.

Lose the fat fast
My advice is as follows. Every day, you chose to be great, or you chose to be mediocre. You never stay the same any day. You either move closer or further from your goals. We all of us have one life, and one life only. You only get one shot at your teenage years. You only get one shot at your twenties, or at that girl, or that guy. You only have one life. Never settle for second best. You don’t have to be overweight. You don’t have to settle for watching the skinny girls in bikinis, or the hot guys without shirts on at the beach. You can be one of them! You don’t have to look back at 40, or 60, or 80 and regret all the years you have been depressed and self conscious and ashamed of your image.

It’s all about you. Your heart, your mind, you determination. Fairytales are fairytales, but a philosophy which has stood the test of time, and which millions have borne witness to, is that you can do or have anything if you want it bad enough. If you need it.

You must realize that every day is precious. Live to the best of your ability! Live well, fight hard! When your tired, put out, sick of training, it’s this fire, this spark, this glint in the eye, this beast of passion which says I will not settle for being second best, I WILL NOT LET BAD HABITS AND A BAD LIFESTYLE KEEP ME FROM LIVING WELL!

And please don’t misunderstand me. Yes there will be hard days, hard moments, and frustrating times. But more and more, as you see the results, fuel your passion, the ties and the desire for the old ways, the old habits, will fall away. You will come to love the new lifestyle as you realize what a waste of your precious life and precious body your previous habits were. You will love the feeling of wellness, wholeness, achievement. But you have to fight now! You have to grit you teeth and refuse to accept anything but victory.

NEED IT! SEE IT! BELIEVE IT! FIGHT FOR IT!

That is my motto. That is my heart. Follow me.
