Have you ever noticed how when you try (try, what a silly word, try) to lose weight, you may lose a few pounds but you always seem to go back to roughly the same weight?

Let's say you weigh 200 pounds, with a goal weight of 150 pounds, but you've "always been 200 pounds", without a serious psychological shift and a change in identity, until you see yourself as 150 pounds, guess where you will end up again?

It's like this one client I had... She was always complaining she couldn't lose weight, she tried everything, she bust her butt in the gym, she ate real well, blah blah blah. So what was the problem? Well, I know one thing, in a short 20 minute conversation she had labeled herself as always being "the fat girl" and making jokes about it.

Sure, adding humor to hide or muffle some deep inner pain may seem alright in the moment, but it's a slippery slope.

Before you know it, you create an identity, a persona, and it is MUCH harder to change WHO you are then it is to simply change your weight.

If you always see yourself as overweight, tired, slow, pudgy, round, thick, extra insulated, or whatever quirky word you use, you are setting yourself up for failure.

See yourself as thin, athletic, sexy, slim, in shape, active, drop dead gorgeous, darn handsome, or whatever you want to be, then you will be amplifying your results tenfold.

Change your mind, change your life.

Everything on your outside world is a reflection of your inner world.

To your success,
