Weight Loss – It’s NOT about the numbers – It’s your Approach!

Today obesity, diabetes and heart disease runs through us at
epidemic levels, Why? The answer lies not in the thousands of
different kinds of diet, weight loss and workout programs
offered, the answer lies in the approach. But, no one wants to
talk about that. Do you ever wonder why that is?

Do we not want to know, or could it have something to do with
the doctor’s and those in the fitness industry not wanting to
explain the best approach to us? Maybe they don’t even know the
right way themselves? Deep down we want and need too know. Why
do I say this? Twenty years of managing health clubs and dealing
with doctor’s tells me, that if they told you this, then there
may be a chance you would not need them. Sounds crazy doesn’t
it. But, true!

Quote:

“While exercise and eating guidelines are based on good
scientific principles, they do not go along with human nature or
common sense. Recent history is telling us this; we are better
off with encouraging the mediocre people who are willing to
include exercise in their daily lives, rather than cramming
guidelines down throats that are far beyond the reach of the
majority of people. In the end, keeping things simple combined
with support usually works better.” Greg Ryan From his e-book:
“Just MOVE it,” www.resolutions.bz

Over the years most of us who are out of shape and want to lose
a few pounds and feel a little better about ourselves, developed
many different behaviors toward exercise and food. Some are good
ones, but most are just barriers we have built in our minds. I
guess you could also chalk it up to pure laziness.

However, the bottom line is we are going to continue down the
path of destruction until someone comes up with a plan to help
people deal with the reasons behind such behaviors.

No pill will do it long term, no eight minute ab’s routine will
concur the patterns; the only thing it will take is
introspection. But, do we want to hear that? Maybe, that is just
too painful to even think about right now.

Do you mean I will have to take a good long look at myself?
Maybe so. At the end of the day, you are going to have to ask
yourself, “Do I deal with it now or do I deal with the
consequences later? Because that’s really want it comes down to.
Face the truth on your terms today, or face the reality on
life’s terms down the road in a hospital bed.

I chose to deal with it now.

So where is the magic? It’s not in the pills or programs being
fed to us today and it’s also not found so much in the numbers
on an exercise chart, the amount of weight you lift, or the
miles on a treadmill.

Our success lies in: •How willing are you to deal with the roots
of the unwanted behaviors? •Figuring out what truly motivates
us? •Developing a great support system for us personally?
•Figure out the emotions behind the food. •Simplifying the
workout program to fit your lifestyle.

Do we really want to continue to put a bandage on bleeding
artery? Or do we get serious and do some mental surgery that
takes care of the weight problem once in for all.

I say go for it! What do you have to lose except a few pounds?

To your success,
