Losing Weight Is Mind Over Matter

I have been helping my clients lose weight for over 4 years now, and the main reason some people cannot lose weight is - they lose motivation.

The weight loss starts with your mind. Your thoughts. As with every other thing, your thought shape your body. Rest, all comes after that. For instance, if you think you will lose weight, you will. If you think you cannot, you cannot.

Let me tell you a story about 'A', to avoid mentioning names. I was working at my home, going through the mails of my clients around 10 pm that day when I received a call from A. He asked, if I could help him lose weight? I said why not, and I started with my usual questions about his present state of health. That is important. I should know from where I am starting and where to reach.

The discussion continued further as to what I offered and how will he lose weight. One thing I observed while talking to him was, he had tried almost every thing available. He tried going for a morning walk. After a few days he let go that plan. He then hired a personal trainer. The trainer was more serious about his routine, than he himself was. That plan was again shelved. He then tried doing yoga for some time and many more things.

I told him very clearly about my observation and told him about his problem. I said I was willing to help him lose weight if at all he was serious and would not get off in between. I am not interested in the money I make, but results of my clients. Today after losing 15 kg in 6 months, he is happy. He needs to lose more weight and is continuing.

It all begins with a thought. One fine day you realize you have gained weight and want to get back in shape. Great! So far so good. You then make a plan. Get up at 5.30. Drink a glass or two of water. Get fresh. Go for a walk. Get ready. Healthy breakfast. AM snack. Lunch. PM snack. Dinner. Go to sleep. The second day! Those of us who stick to the plan, get to see the results. Those of us who start expecting results the same evening, then the second day.. soon lose interest and say.. it does not work. I need a different plan.

Tell your mind, it's going to take time. Tell your mind, no matter what you have to carry on. Mind your mind to see the results!
