The New Year has come and gone and by now most people World Wide have given up on the resolution to lose weight, drop that dress size, bring the belt notches in by two, and wear those “skinny jeans” again.
This happens because for some reason when making a resolution concerning improving one’s health or re-shaping their body people feel that because they want it so badly that it should just happen as if they are entitled to this desire.
I find it an interesting phenomenon, I want this and therefore it should just happen for me simply because.
What happens is many times the body is not aware of your grand plan to lose weight or drop that dress size, and frankly the body doesn’t really care. The mind has to stay motivated and the mind must control the body and stay on the course of what you have decided to do to improve your health, fitness, or re-shape your body. The mind controls the body and you control the mind, but if you allow the body to run things it will gladly control the mind and then the body will control you, now did you get all of that?
One example of this happens when people just eat things and they are not even hungry, it is there and not even thinking about it people will eat just because the food is there, pay attention and stay diligent to what you are eating, try not to live to eat but try to eat to live.
Here is something I say all the time and you may have read it from me before “If this were easy than everyone would do it.”
It is not easy but you must understand do not look for results in the first 6 weeks of starting any new exercise program or lifestyle change.
The body sometimes takes longer and doesn’t want to cooperate with your timetable. If you are changing the habits, actions, and mind set that lead you to be overweight, unhealthy, then just follow your new found lifestyle and every thing else will fall into place.
