Weight loss: The journey

Lose the fat fast.

As a trainer one of the biggest problems i have with clients are their mindsets. Your thoughts and attitudes create your life. They affect everything in more powerful ways than you can imagine. Two people living in the same city, from the same background, same oppurtunities, same environment. One ends up a millionaire, the other ends up on the street. What was the difference? Luck? No, a mindset. A way of thinking, attutide, perception of challenges, approach to living. The mind holds the key to everything.

If your trying to lose weight and your mindset is ' i need to diet (eg suffer and sweat and torture myself for awhile) until i get get in shape, your mindset is completely wrong. For you, losing weight is just a medium. It's 'ill put up with this diet or program so i can look good. When i look good i can live happy like everyone.' Think about it. How enthusiastic have you been about your diets when you first start...then a week later your sick of it.

It's the wrong mindset.

Your mindset needs to be positive, but more, revolutionary. Anyone, no matter what personality, can alter their thoughts quickly. Imagine someone is having a row with their partner, then the phone rings. They stop, answer the phone politely, put it down, and start shouting again. Our emotions and thoughts can change quickly.

Losing weight isnt about simply dropping pounds. Its about identifying that your current lifestyle has resulted in you becoming obese, that its unhealthy, that your depressed or self concious, unhappy with you body. Its a realisation that you dont need a diet. You need a new lifestyle, or at the very least a changed lifestyle. This is the difference between those who fail, and those who succeed.

Those who enter with the mindset of a new lifestyle try to change their entire life to suit healthiness, fitness and happiness. There is no such thing as a diet to them. They simply eat differently in this lifestyle, and they love the fit and confident body they have as a result. They dont see training as a hassle. They love their new healthy lifestyle where jogging or boxing is a regular part of their routine.

Don't think that your going to have to suffer to get to where you want, upon which time you can start living again. This new lifestyle i will introduce you too is about ENJOYING life, and being CONFIDENT, having a routine each day which lets you live life to the fullest. No drudge diet or suffering. In fact, as you see results, and feel better and better, i guarantee you will fall in love with your new lifestyle and will never go back to the old.
Its about two things- Mindset, and knowledge.
Your mindset includes the way you percieve this change in your life, and your willpower. The knowledge includes the methods and the information by which you can achieve the change. I will help you with the knowledge. But you must start at home with yourself and alter your mindset and attitudes.
