You have to CHANGE more than you want to STAY THE SAME

It's human nature......we ALL do it.  We SAY we want to do something, get all fired up......maybe get up the nerve to DO it once or twice, or for a week or two, and then start losing steam....the novelty wears off, and then we're right back at where we started....kinda like the lifespan of a hot tub or cool new kitchen gadget ;)  

AGREED??????  OMG I've been there MORE times than I can count.  Starting and stopping.  Committing then QUITTING.....each time getting more and more emotionally buried in the process.  You KNOW the feeling I mean.....some of you can COMPLETELY relate.  It's like a strong guilt.....a feeling of SHAME or embarrassment with yourself.....not that society doesn't add to it with images of "perfect" bodies and "fit people" everywhere you turn........you know when you're in line at the grocery store and see someone else who was able to lose weight and get in shape with some "magic diet".......it seems when we're in that FUNK....once we've given up YET AGAIN, that EVERYWHERE WE TURN we are reminded of how we FAILED ourselves AGAIN.  

Some people may think I've never been there and that I've never felt that way, thinking I've always been fit and healthy.....NOT TRUE.  I went through the process too and I still struggle with motivation and commitment, but the DIFFERENCE now is that I WON'T give up.  I simply WILL NOT turn my back on this lifestyle.  I have too many people to inspire and motivate and encourage and support.  MY ACCOUNTABILITY is stronger than it's ever been before......I CANT GIVE up now. I would be giving up on hundreds of others if I threw in the towel.  

I hope that your switch clicks....that that day comes where you realize that you want to change MORE than you want to stay the same.  That you KNOW that starting over time after time is HARD.....and that sticking with it is so much easier.  That if you stop giving up that your commitment to getting that workout in and making healthier food choices will COMPOUND over TIME and result in CHANGE......that you don't have to stay stuck in that feeling of shame or guilt.  YOU can BREAK THE CYCLE.  When you're ready, you'll do it.  And you'll quickly realize your increased energy......you increased self-esteem, confidence, positive energy, and zest for LIFE.  

I'm TELLING YOU.........the benefits are SO worth it.  Don't just sit on the sidelines and watch me......JOIN ME......its FUN and you get HOOKED.......and every area of your life benefits :)  I PROMISE :)
