The Four Secrets To Great Weight Loss

The Four Secrets To Great Weight Loss

            Many of us at sometime in our lives have wanted to lose weight and may have tried to lose weight. Some of us many more times than we care to remember. So why does the weight come back or not even leave in the first place. Let me share with you the four secrets I have learned to losing weight and keeping it off.

1.     WANT. First of all no matter how many books or programs we buy or gym memberships we acquire, nothing is going to happen if we don’t have the WANT to lose weight. Now I know that sounds simplistic but consider it for a minute. Do you really have a passion to lose weight and stay healthy? Is it something that consumes you and that you are dedicated to? For me, and I am sure for others, it was more of a WISH instead of a WANT. But in order to succeed we must have the WANT because motivation does not come from outside of you, it comes from inside of you because YOU are the only person who can motivate you. Everything else merely pumps you up temporarily. Long-lasting motivation has to come from you. So find that desire inside of to make changes in your life and weight and turn that desire into a raging WANT.

2.     COMMITMENT. Once you know you have the WANT now you must follow through with COMMITMENT. Remember you are doing this for you, not for anyone else. You are not trying to please someone so that they will like you better. If their affection of you is determined by how you look then their affection is shallow at best. You want to lose weight for YOU and YOU only. If you are doing it for someone else you will lose heart and give up.

3.     YOU ARE WORTHY. Understand that you are a unique creation. You are one of a kind, not one in a million. You are put on this earth as a special person and you must believe that about yourself. Know that you are worthy of all the blessings that life bestows on us. A billionaire can’t buy a raindrop or a sunrise. You get to enjoy those for free because you are as worthy as anyone else to partake of the blessings of life. Once you understand your worthiness you will be able to go on to number four.

4.     LOVE YOURSELF. Every person’s body will eventually decay and fade away. Every movie star, every celebrity, will eventually pass away and their bodies will turn to dust. So love yourself for who you are, not what you look like. Know that what is inside of you is what is going to continue after you leave this life so focus on that. When you love yourself it will be easier for you to make the changes you want in your life and your body.  Let’s all accept our uniqueness and understand what the important things in life are and focus on those and losing weight will be a whole lot easier.  Live an exceptional life.
