When someone joins my coaching program, one of the first things I ask them to do is to describe exactly what their body is going to look like once I help them reach their goal weight. I ask them to do this in writing \u2013 not over the phone, and here\u2019s why\u2026<\/p>\n
Deeply embedded negative thoughts are what cause us to have difficulties in any weight loss or health enhancement program \u2013 in fact, our past failures can almost always be traced back to negative thoughts that we didn\u2019t even realize we had.<\/p>\n
Most of our negative thinking comes out when we write things down on paper (or on the computer).<\/p>\n
I challenge you to write out 10 brief descriptions about how your body will look in 30 days if you were coached by someone like me \u2013 someone who knows exactly how to transform the human body no matter what stage of the game you\u2019re currently at.<\/p>\n
Go ahead, take a moment and write out what your face would look like, what your arms would look like, what your legs and your butt would look like \u2013 would your skin look different, would your muscles be tighter, would you be leaner \u2013 detail everything, then come right back.<\/p>\n
Did you do it?<\/p>\n
Make your list now before reading any further \u2013 I want you to walk away with some profound knowledge of yourself when you\u2019re done reading this article.<\/p>\n
OK, now that you have your list, let me show you something that you can use to judge whether or not you\u2019ve been causing yourself to fail in your attempts to lose weight and keep it off.<\/p>\n
Here are some examples of statements that a good friend of mine used to have before he and I began working together \u2013 statements that were holding him back from success:<\/p>\n
Face-more chiselled features, no double chin, no doughy jowls or puffy cheeks, no bags under the eyes.
\nOther than the improved facial shape, I have no complaints at all about my face, hair, eyes, nose, or ears.<\/p>\n
Neck-no double chin or \u201cwattle\u201d<\/p>\n
Chest-no gynecomastia (womanly breasts), muscular instead. Look, ma, I can see my ribcage and pectoral muscles instead of a soft mattress of flab.<\/p>\n
Arms-hard sinewy curves instead of soft breadsticks. Seeing veins and muscles instead of smooth fat.<\/p>\n
Abdomen-are there really abs hiding in there? They\u2019ve never made an appearance in 50 years! It\u2019d be nice to have a tight waist not uncomfortably sliced by too-tight underwear.<\/p>\n
Legs-less of a conical shape, more elongated and solid. Although my calves have always been rather large and firm-my best body part, is next to my brain.<\/p>\n
Buttocks-less sag, more form<\/p>\n
Back-could is a lot less hairy, would be nice to see a \u201cV\u201d shape instead of a truncated pyramid.<\/p>\n
Can you see why he might have had a few troubles in the past reaching his goal?<\/p>\n
But I\u2019ll let you in on a little secret \u2013 this guy is in great shape now and enjoying life more than ever, and he\u2019s a pleasure to speak with each week in our coaching calls.<\/p>\n
Now here\u2019s a list from a woman who recently completed one of my coaching programs \u2013 this list was written out after our first session together \u2013 watch how positive every statement is:
