If you want to get into the best shape of your life, it is important to learn the principles of success. Just wishing that you were more fit or that you weighed less is not enough. You need to understand what really goes into achieving your goals.
One thing to understand and be cautious about is the fact that nothing fails like success. When you begin your new weight loss program, you are going to be motivated to work hard so that you reach the goals you have set. But as you progress, you may lose sight of what it takes to be successful. You will be tempted to look away from your goal.
Here is a scenario that I have seen many times. A client wants to lose 20-30lbs. They get on their plan, get their eating right, find every little angle to get to their goal and they hit it! Then a few months down the road they get into cruise control mode. And they start feeling like they can skip out on a workout or two.
It does not seem as important to stick to their meal plant. And slowly but surely they start gaining the weight back. All that they worked so hard to achieve begins slipping away. Why? Because nothing fails like success. They took their eyes off the goal.
It is also important to keep in mind that success does not depend on genetics. Success is about practice. If you see someone who is in shape and healthy, do not assume that it is just because they were born that way. They have worked for that success! They practice good habits in diet, exercise and life in general. That is why they are in such good shape.
None of it comes naturally. It's something you commit to and believe in and practice until it becomes a habit. Never a popular answer in a pop-a-pill society, but it's the truth. Where the ball gets dropped most often is all the common sense that you think you know, never becomes common practice.
