Dear Friend,
My name is Josie Goldberg. I hope you don’t mind me calling you friend but I feel like I already know you. You see, I have been helping people just like you lose weight and regain their health since Jane Fonda pulled on her first set of leg warmers – and I am on a mission!
When I was growing up my best friend was overweight. I spent my whole school life watching how painful it was for her. I decided I never wanted this to happen to me or anyone I cared about. I didn’t realize it at the time but the massive pain I attached to being overweight back then shaped my life forever. With your permission I would like to share with you something I believe will truly help give you the motivation to lose weight.
Whether you have been stuck on the weight loss roller coaster for a long time or are on your first attempt to lose weight, THERE IS SOMETHING REALLY IMPORTANT YOU NEED TO KNOW!!! Statistics say 95% of people who lose weight put it all back on, and often gain even more, within 2 years. This is an alarming statistic but the good news is I am going to help you understand why, so you can become one of the 5% who loses their weight once and for all.
Most people know that to lose weight they need an eating and exercise plan, but there is a third essential component to weight loss. In fact, it’s the reason for the 95% failure rate. Without it you will never successfully get the weight off and keep it off. Are you curious yet?
The third step (which should really be the first step) is a plan for your mind. No, I’m not talking about positive thinking or affirmations, which are also helpful, I am talking about the science of training your brain to develop the skills which give you the motivation to lose weight.
The reason we fail to accomplish anything in life is because we don’t take ACTION. The reason don’t take action is we don’t have a strong enough REASON why. What motivates human beings do anything is; to avoid pain, gain pleasure or a combination of both. For most people avoiding pain is the strongest motivation. If you have not been able to lose weight or keep it off in the past, it’s most likely because you think doing the things you need to do to lose weight will be too painful. What do I mean by this?
If when you think about losing weight, you immediately think, “Oh no, I will have to give up something I love (like chocolate or alcohol)” or “I hate exercising”, or “It’s just all too much effort” etc etc you will never, ever succeed! Why am I telling you this? Because by knowing this, you now have the power to change it and join the 5%. The fact that you are here visiting this site, and seeking more weight loss motivation information means you are one of the 10% of people who proactively looks for ways to improve their lives. This tells me that you absolutely have what it takes to succeed. You just need to know how to apply the skills we are all born with.
Yes thats right, every single one of us has the capability to direct our minds and our emotions, we just need a plan! To lose your weight forever you must change how you feel about losing weight. By redirecting your thoughts you will change your behaviour towards it. Right now ask yourself this question, “In the past, what have I focused on most when trying to lose weight?” For example when someone offers you a piece of chocolate have you thought things like, “I really want it but I have to lose weight.” While you may have found the strength in some moments to resist the chocolate, your underlying feeling is that you are being dreprived. Eventually your will power runs out and you are right back where you started, on the weight loss roller coaster again! If you are always thinking, “why cant I lose weight” your brain is searching for ways to make that your reality!
Hopefully by now you are already starting to think, “I absolutely CAN lose weight!” simply by retraining your brain to focus instead on how great you will look and how healthy you are becoming. Wait. Stop reading and take a moment to really think about this. Close your eyes and imagine how truly awesome it will feel to be your ideal weight and to feel healthy and energetic again. Image how proud you will feel and how impressed and relieved your friends and family will be. You might even inspire some of them. How different would your life be?
By changing your focus, you CAN change your life! It may sound simplistic but it’s true. What you focus on most is what causes you to TAKE ACTION, and action is the only way to get results! When what you think about most is “how great I will look and feel when I lose those extra kilos” your brain will automatically search for ways to make that happen.
Have you ever decided you wanted something, like say a particular brand of car or breed of dog. All of a sudden you see those cars or dogs everywhere. Do you think everyone else suddenly went out and bought that car or dog? No, it’s because now you are focused on wanting that car or dog and your brain automatically looks for it, and finds them everywhere you go. How cool is that! But here is the downside, if you focus on how hard it will be, or what you will have to give up to lose weight, what do you think your brain will search for then????? Yep, you got it, lots of reasons “why I cant lose weight” and ways to fail.
Now you have the answer to why you and so many people are stuck on the weight loss roller coaster. What will you do? In this moment you are at a crossroad. You know what has been keeping you stuck and that you CAN get yourself out of this cycle - but that knowledge will do nothing for you unless you put it into ACTION. If you leave this page and don’t change a thing, where will you be in 10 years from now? Please don’t put this off a second longer. What you choose today is what you will get tomorrow and the day after – but remember it’s like interest and everyday it compounds. The weight gain, the loss of health, your self esteem will all get worse with every passing day. You must decide now what you ultimately want. The challenge is the same for all of us, until we move on from “should or could” we don’t or won’t take the action necessary to improve the quality of our lives. Weight loss doesn’t happen by knowing what you CAN do to lose weight. It only happens from what you WILL do.
I’m sorry if I am being too straight forward about how important weight loss motivation is, but I really do care about you and I hope you can feel that. I don’t want to tell you what to do, I just want you to really understand the choices you are making and how they are affecting your life, so you will feel inspired to make choices that will bring you happiness.
On this site you will find lots more information, tools and support to help you get your mind in the best shape possible. Once you have mastered your emotional fitness for weight loss those skills are transferable to every area of your life. Imagine how empowered you will feel once you have shed those kilos. The strength and personal power you get from this accomplishment will then propel you in every area of your life. THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.
I don’t want to tell you what to do. I believe self education is the most effective way to learn and grow. By considering all things with an open mind and applying your own logic you will discover what makes sense for you. If you take what works for you and give 100% you can’t fail. What have you got to lose?
Thank you for sharing your time with me. I wish you health and happiness in all things you do.
Josie
Ps Could I ask a favour? If anything I share with you is helpful would you share it with your friends and family. Perhaps you could leave a comment here for others who are struggling with their weight. If we all work together and support each other I believe we can make a difference.
