One of the hardest parts of achieving something new is the change it takes to get there, and being able to change yourself to lose weight is no different. You have spent many years creating habits and routines that have resulted in you being the person you are today and being where you are in your life.
Some areas of yourself and your life you may be happy with, and others such as your weight, health, fitness, and body, you may be unhappy with.
The big challenge of changing what you are unhappy with, is that your brain is wired in certain ways and your habits may be so entrenched that they are very hard to break or improve.
For example, many people say that they want to lose weight, but then don’t do enough exercise and can’t stop themselves from eating unhealthy foods.
You may want to change your weight that you’re not happy with, but maybe you can’t seem to get going with it, or never get around to doing enough about it.
Change is NOT easy. But it’s also useful to remember that…
“If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got”
So while change is not easy, it’s absolutely vital if you want to develop and improve your life. If you want to lose weight, get fitter and healthier, or get a better looking body, then you MUST change.
What if you don’t change yourself to lose weight?
If you are living an unhealthy lifestyle which has led to you gaining weight and struggling with your weight, there are serious consequences if you don’t change.
Physically and mentally you are nowhere near where you could be…
- This affects how you feel every single day of your life, including your energy levels and confidence
- It affects your health, now and in the future
- It affects how long you will live for and whether those years will be high quality, or whether you suffer
- It affects your relationships with everyone in your life
Overall, if you do not change to get to where you want to be with your weight, health, fitness, and body, then you will be living life below what you could AND you will die earlier than you should!
