One of the main questions I get is from people who have simply given up on ever losing their excess pounds and becoming lean. Some people believe that they just can’t lose weight, that it’s impossible for them to be thinner. On the one hand, who can blame them? Some people have tried diet after diet, had their hopes picked up high only to see them smashed again and again. This is something that most people would find despairing.
On the other hand though, as someone who has also failed to lose weight in the past but finally succeeded, I hate it when I encounter such despair. I don’t like it when people give up on themselves. It’s something that I just don’t think should happen. I also believe that nearly everyone can lose weight.
When I say nearly everyone, I most likely don’t mean you. I mean only the rarest of cases in which there is some genetic condition which is causing obesity or you have to take a pill that makes you fat (and there are such medicines, awful stuff). But I don’t mean you.
You can lose weight, you just haven’t figured out how yet. And all those diets which you think you failed on, have failed you not the other way around. If you try a weight loss program and really commit to it, and it doesn’t work, it’s the program that has failed, not YOU.
You did everything right, it’s the program that didn’t work. Just because it didn’t work doesn’t mean that nothing else will. One program has nothing to do with the other. And not all of them are scams either. Some are just naturally better than others. Some are more suitable to your genetics and body type.
The point I’m making is that weight loss is a process in which there will be bumps and scrapes along the way. You need to be able to overcome them and ignore them by keeping your eyes on your goals. I did it and it worked. I know it’s not the easiest thing in the world, but once you attain this mindset, your motivation will skyrocket. Trust me. I know.
You can lose weight. You just need to try and try again. I will help.
