Are you Pissed?

What causes people to begin a transformation? Is it disgust? Disgust with the way they look? The way they feel? The way people view them?

If I was a betting man I would bet that the first step in change is that the person gets angry. I mean pissed off for letting themselves get that way in the first place. I call this PAIN. They have so much emotional pain that they have two options.


Option # 1 – They keep doing what they are doing which will not lead to any kind of improvement physically, emotionally and probably most of all aesthetically. I mean…the main reason most of us work out is for reasons of vanity!

Option #2 – They make drastic change. They do what ever it takes for them to get the body and health they want. They will be anal when it comes to their food intake, their exercise program. Their commitment is over the top. They tend to put other things in their life on hold, they don’t hang out friends that derail them and their progress, they have binders on and all they see is that goal and nothing will stand in the way!


Is that what it really takes to change? It does take that kind of commitment. That is the truth. I am not beating around the bush. Life happens and we can all be derailed. What separates the people that meet their goals and the people that don’t? It is a combination of things. The top of the list would be….Social Support, Preparation, Following the Plan, and if you do fall off the plan getting back on the plan asap…not turning a screw up into something that gets out of control.

My question to you is this -

How much Pain do you have? Only you can answer that and only you can answer this…What are you willing to do to make that pain go away?

Stay tuned…next week we will talk about simple strategies you can implement to help you get to your goal. You have goals, RIGHT?
