We can get to a point where we try but feel like we are not getting anywhere...
Sometimes it's easy to give ourselves a reason not to keep trying, that leaves us stuck...
We start to say to ourselves "maybe this is just how I am"...
Or "I have always had a slow metabolism"...
"I am a big boned"...
"I have tried so many ways and it hasn't worked"...
"Because of an illness or my medication, it has made it harder to get results"...
The trouble is, once you except and believe those statements, they really do hold you back...
The above statements have truth, more than a decade ago I gained weight very quickly and was at my heaviest due to thyroid disfunction (gland that controls metabolism, amongst other things)...
I remember excepting that I would never be in the kind of shape I was before...
But luckily my job is to help others improve their lifestyle and be healthier, so I never stopped learning...
At a seminar soon after I gained knowledge that had almost been staring at me...
Eat natural foods, limit foods high in the body's preferred energy source and over time it will keep using its secondary source - body fat...
And sure enough...
But if I stopped looking, stopped applying I would have stayed the same, mediocre at best!
So yes, you may be on the back foot compared to someone else, age may be a factor, so may your previous lifestyle...
But that does not mean that is how it has to be, if you still want to change, you can...
You can move forward from whatever point you are now, but if you haven't changed shape or improved health for a while, then it means you will have to apply more to improve...
And no, you don't need to wait until after Xmas to start changing and implementing...
But start and stay committed and things will happen...
