THIS CAN’T BE LIFE

I don’t like what I see in the mirror. I don’t like the way I feel. I don’t like what I’ve become. My body is totally out of shape. This can’t be life.

I know you’ve had this talk with yourself right before you started your fitness journey. How did you get to this point? What finally clicked in your head that made you look harder in the mirror that day to tell yourself that?

Regardless of how you came to that point, honesty rose to the top. Honesty in the sense of you were honest with yourself to recognize there needed to be a change in your life. A change in your behavior. A change in your mindset to begin a new life.

Yes, you’re right, this can’t be life, because it isn’t. You have made the first step in making changes in your life. You have chosen to be selfish and put your health first. You recognize there’s an issue within yourself and only you can fix it.

Now that you’ve made your decree, what’s going to be your mode of attack? Which diet will you choose? Will you follow someone else’s plan or will you come up with your own? You know there’s so many experts out there. The information on health & fitness is so vast. It can be overwhelming at times.

I can’t tell you who to choose or who not to choose. I will tell you this, find inspiration wherever you can. Someone who has lost weight has the best advice over someone who hasn’t. They know what you’re going through. They’ve been where you are. Experience tops everything. The start of your new life begins today. It can be if you choose it be. The choice is yours.
