CAN’T MANAGE TO LOSE WEIGHT, OR DO YOU REGAIN IT ALL TOO QUICKLY? YOU NEED TO STICK YOUR NECK OUT AND BE ACCOUNTABLE – PERHAPS YOU NEED TO START

Summer time is the catalyst for many people to initiate lifestyle changes to become fitter and healthier. The sun puts pressure on people to cast aside our long coats and woolly jumpers and expose our vitamin D-deprived white flesh to the sun.

There are plenty of products out there offering a quick fix for fat-loss, but don’t succumb to the something-for-nothing disease. If you want to change your body shape, you have got to be accountable to yourself. You must change your identity and self image on the inside as well as the outside.

If you want to accomplish long-term fat loss, your mindset has to first change. People fail to achieve fitness goals and regain weight for a lot of physiological reasons, but they also stay fat or regain lost weight for psychological reasons. You can never outperform your self image.

When you see yourself and talk about yourself as a fat person, you will never become or remain slim and lean. Human beings think in pictures and you have to change that internal self image to change the external you.

Our bodies and our life circumstances are a perfect reflection of the words we choose and the hidden meaning behind those words. When you label yourself as a fat person, you are reinforcing with words the self image and identity of an overweight person. As long as you continue doing that, you are likely to continue to have weight-control difficulties.

How do you see yourself? A body-fat percentage that is higher than average does not mean that you are a fat person.

Fat is a biological tissue where excess energy is stored and it is a temporary physical condition.

There has been a trend towards people publishing weight-loss blogs, in order, I suppose, for public accountability. A blog increases your rate of success, as anyone who keeps a journal of nutrition, training and fitness has an advantage and a greater chance of success.

If you write your own blog you should define in words who you really want to be. Muhammad Ali’s self-talk is probably the best example as he always said: “I am the greatest!”

There are many people who describe themselves as a ‘fat blogger’ or a ‘hard-gainer of muscle’ but this is self-defeating. One man who understood this is Rob Cooper, who lost 300lbs in body weight.
He named his site ‘the former fat guy’. If he had hung onto the previous image of himself being a fat person he would never have changed and maintained his new body shape.

In the realm of health and fitness, you need to look at who you are and who you want to become. Do you want to be a lean, mean, muscle-building machine; a fitness fanatic; or a human dynamo? Do you want to be like Muhammad Ali and be the greatest?

You need to take accountability for your actions and make a public pledge by keeping a journal or a blog.

Accountability scares people, because they don’t want to stick their necks out and make that type of commitment.

But that’s the whole idea. You need to get our of your comfort zone and feel the fear and do it anyway. That is where you grow and that is where change takes place.

If you’ve been unable to make the body changes you’ve always wanted, maybe no one ever held you accountable before. Maybe you never held yourself accountable before.

It is often when my clients complete a food diary that they start increasing their awareness of their actions and their food selection choices.

If you want to achieve success, you must transform your body and your mind at the same time. If we neglect what goes on on the inside — how we think of ourselves — we will continually lead to failure.
