A friend of mine is fanatical about exercise, he is always onto the latest exercise routine or diet craze. The problem was that he’s not in great shape, in fact he’s fat.
The problem isn’t in his knowledge, he can tell you exactly how interval training works and all about the various stages of EPOC. He can also tell you about carbohydrate restrictive diets and nutrient partitioning. The problem lies with the mental side of his fat loss.
Its secret to weight loss is actually being able to stick to what you have planned. Bill Phillips from Body for Life called this ‘crossing the chasm’. Crossing the mental chasm of getting yourself mentally strong enough to stick to the challenges you will face while losing your weight. And there will be challenges, have no doubt about that. Most weight loss routines neglect this part but its absolutely crucial, in fact it could be the secret ingredient to your success.
In this program you will be given a number of tools to assist you in achieving the mental strength you need to stick to this program. Some may work for you, some may not. Pick the ones that do work, drop the ones that don’t, but make sure you try all of them. Set aside ten minutes every morning or evening and go through these every day.
These tools will start off very practical and immediate and progress to tools which will get a little harder but have fantastic character molding abilities. Once you have got a few of these settled and practised you don’t have to limit them to weight loss, you can use them on all parts of your life for success.
These will be your secret weapon for achieving your weight loss.
