If you want to get into the best shape of your life, it is important to learn the principles of success. Just wishing that you were more fit or that you weighed less is not enough. You need to understand what really goes into achieving your goals.
For example, one thing to understand is that nothing fails like success. You see, in the beginning of your weight loss efforts, you will be very motivated to work hard and stay on track. But eventually, it becomes easy to get distracted and stop doing the things that brought you success.
Here is a scenario that I have seen many times. A client wants to lose 20-30lbs. They get on their plan, get their eating right, find every little angle to get to their goal and they hit it! Then a few months down the road they get into cruise control mode. And they start feeling like they can skip out on a workout or two.
They don't feel the need to follow the diet as tightly as they did before. And little by little the results they worked hard for, the success they achieved begins to fade away and they slip back. All because nothing fails like success and taking your eye off of what got you successful in the first place.
Also remember that success is not genetics; it is practice. Some people look at other people who are in shape and think they are just born that way. Well, they are not. It's practice. People who are successful with their fitness and health practice eating right (they don't get it right all the time) they practice it. They practice getting better at scheduling, motivation, exercise routines and all the little things that add up to being in shape.
None of it comes naturally. It's something you commit to and believe in and practice until it becomes a habit. Never a popular answer in a pop-a-pill society, but it's the truth. Where the ball gets dropped most often is all the common sense that you think you know, never becomes common practice.
