11 secrets to weight-loss results

Weight loss success is not inherited by a secret society of Personal Trainers. It is available for everyone to take advantage of. Obesity is an overwhelming phenomenon over the past 2 decades that has very real consequences to our quality of life, our loved ones, and our health system.
Challenges with weight loss are a passion driven subject that I have been researching, living, learning and confronted by for over 20 years now. By reading this article now, you may be wondering if there is one secret that you are missing out on that would make a difference to the shape you are in.
Now is the best time to build your best physical condition and design your ideal healthy life. To gain success over your weight, you must be able to see the opportunity that lies beneath the FAT that is your life.
So, if you are ready to get started on a healthier you, then I have prepared 11 strategies and insights into how you can apply them into your life right now. Even if you just pick up one useful tactic, you will be on your way to better managing a healthier life for yourself.
1. There are 3 pivotal questions to ask yourself if you truly want to succeed. Unless you respond to them with a big YES, you will not achieve anything. They are 1. Do you deserve to succeed? 2. Do you believe you can succeed? 3. Do you honestly want to succeed?
2. Take a minute to sum up what your personal definition is of Weight loss success. You will find it hard to succeed if you are not clear on what you are aiming for. It is no good to want the fitness and discipline of an ironman, Olympian or a TV celebrity, because we all have our own needs and values and our own definitions of success. It is not about comparing yourself to other people. It is about what you can do.
3. Your old habits are deeply entrenched inside you because of the time you’ve spent repeating them. The best way to get rid of old habits is to replace them with new ones. Negative beliefs, low expectations, fears, and doubts are what stop you from believing what you want is possible.
4. Most people put the weight back on after losing it because they were on a diet and not transforming their lifestyle. When they have reached their goal, they stop training for it.
5. Life happens, in your exercise and daily nourishment there will always be challenges to the status quo: Parties with friends and family, office get-togethers, holidays, changes to personal life and career etc. Just keep your spotlight on what you can control and avoid using energy on what issues that you cannot. Focus on health and daily exercise and eat for nourishment and not for stress or boredom. The only time food will solve a problem in your life is when you are genuinely hungry.
6. You can create a healthy lifestyle in just 3 seconds. That’s the time it takes for you to make a decision that you will have a healthier life. Everything else is just execution.
7. Good time management is a key component to weight loss success, and poor time management is one of the major reasons for failure. Most people have the incentive, opportunities, and ability, but they just waste too much time on things that are immaterial.
8. Most people could write down 100 things that they want to get done every day. Rather than write a ‘To Do ‘list. Decide what are YOUR 5 most important things that must get done that day that will bring the most significant impact and progress to living a life that is powerful and living a life you love, and do them first.
9. Don’t blame others or your situation or for you not being in action. This is your personal battle and unless you are responsible for it, you will not succeed.
10. We all know that crash diets don’t work, so stop lying to yourself and get honest about taking control of your weight and your life. Don’t get tied to the numbers on the scale. I bet if the scale said 200 kgs and you still fir into those skinny jeans, you would not care.
11. Your ultimate health has 3 major objectives. It is a vehicle for you to learn about yourself, it allows you to make a contribution to yourself and your life and it provides you with the resources to have an interesting and full life.

It’s your wellbeing, it’s your reality, and it’s your choice. You have the strength to do what you want, when you want it.
