What Makes It Work?

Hi guys,

A prospective client asked me a question today that is so simple and so profound that I decided to write about it in the blog…

She is 32 years old and has apparently tried everything to lose weight – from fat loss shakes to anti-cellulite creams to liposuction. Needless to say, nothing worked for long enough. “So, what is it about your approach” she asked “that makes it work?”

The answer is so simple yet so difficult to comprehend… What makes the program work is YOU. You are the only one that has that power. I can (and will) be there to guide you, teach you, support you, push you when you need me to, but YOU need to pull it together. It is your responsibility, your battle, and ultimately – your reward.

Now the tough step to overcome, particularly for someone who has been overweight for a long time is the lack of faith in your own ability. Throughout the years you have probably told yourself time and time again that you are not going to eat those cookies, will get on the workout wagon from Monday or will eat healthily from January 1^st. And, of course, time and time again you have broken your own promise. You have failed yourself enough times to lose all confidence in yourself.

Well, guess what. It doesn’t have to be this way. I know it has been like this for a while, but you can change that. In fact, once you try you will see that keeping your promise to yourself is not that hard. You just have to promise to yourself that you can and will invest the time and effort to get your body in shape. You have to convince yourself that you are worth it (yep, just like the L’oreal ad!).

I am going to say it again: the first step in winning the battle of the bulge is to believe that you can do it. And yes, you can! I don’t care how overweight you are! So, give yourself permission to succeed and get on with the program (so to speak)! Summer is about 8 weeks away!

Ciao!
