I watched several episodes of Thinervention, a television show similar to the Biggest Loser. It had obese clients living on a campus together, having all the aspects of their life monitored in an attempt to lose the most weight and to win the contest.
They had successes and struggles but I appreciate how the show highlighted how aspects of their personal lives impacted their choices for food and workout plans. Ultimately, these choices revealed their level of success with their weight loss process. The trainer, Jackie Warner, gave them the tools, but they were responsible for implementing the changes that were suggested and taught.
It’s important to remember that success in beginning a clean eating plan, or regularly including a challenging workout regime into your daily life needs to include a look at your stress habits, your patterns, your’ financial and time constraints and create ATTAINABLE GOALS. Success comes when you start challenging goals, but ones that are eventually achievable, with hard work.
You’re worth it.
