We’re starting another weight loss challenge today!  We have some real excited people who are ready to make the summer of 2008 their time to become more healthy and change their lives forever!!!  I’m going to try to post a great “before” picture, but my “blogging” skills are in the beginner category!  Let me know if you are doing something similar, or if you would like more information on what we are doing.

Losing weight is a lot like driving a car.  In order to get results, you need to concentrate on where you want to go.  Focusing on what you don’t want–”I don’t want to be fat”–isn’t going to work.  That’s like staring intently at the curb and saying, “I don’t want to drive there.”  Next thing you know, your fender’s wrapped around a light post.  To get what you want, focus on what you want!  Picture it vividly, as if you’ve already achieved it.  Say it out loud.  Writ it down.  Be positive, be specific, and speak in terms of “now, and not in terms of some vague hope for the future.  “I’m too fat.  I need to lose weight,” isn’t nearly as effective as saying, “I’m in the process of losing five pounds of fat this month.  I’m a svelte, sexy, sculpted hottie!”  (Well, that’s a little over the top, but you get our drift.)  This positive affirmation gives your goal clarity, focus, and a deadline–the quickest and surest way to get from point A to point B.
