Reality Check

You know what kills me more than anything in my career field? It's not when I see someone having a hard time with their goals, or when someone gets discouraged. It's when someone gives up completely.

When you give up completely all you are doing is saying, " I can't do this " or the following:

"I don't want to lose 20lbs anymore"

"I am okay with being fat"

"I'm okay with not being able to physically help myself if I need to"

"I don't care about myself"

All of these and more are exactly what you're saying when you say "I can't do this" or "I don't want to workout" and in lieu of this, you consciously or subconsciously find a way to make an effort on a far smaller scale.

You immediately go to the latest workout fad, buy P90X, go to Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers and at the end of the day, it still didn't work?

Why is that?  Because not only did you try to take the easy way out of the hard work you need to put in but you also went to some "Lose weight fast" scheme thinking it would do all the work for you.

The result isn't in the method or in the venue;  it's in the work ethic and the work ethic alone.

Your excuses will only keep you fat:

All of your lame excuses for not working out are doing nothing but keeping you fat and ugly. You have not a single excuse that justifies your lack of dedication to your personal health and fitness. You have time. You have the money. You have the ability. You choose not to do it and waste your money on other means of short term satisfaction and still wonder why your clothes are tight and why you look the way you do.

If your friends aren't helping you; they're hurting you:

If your friends aren't encouraging you to take a look at yourselr in the mirror and do something about yourself then you need new friends because if they aren't encouraging you; they are only keeping you down.

Oh, you got problems?

That sounds familiar, but we all have problems and while you may not be able to solve them all right now; I guarantee working out will relieve some of that stress and keep other problems from forming! Like:

Weight Gain

High blood pressure

High cholesterol

Poor sex drive

Depression

And the list goes on.

If you still look cute after your workout,  you aren't done yet!!

If you aren't covered in sweat and on cloud 9 by the time your workout is done then I'm sorry to say but you have WAY more work to do. There is nothing "cute" about working out. You'll grunt, you'll sweat,  you'll smell and you'll feel amazing as hell doing it. Those little 20 min walks on the treadmill aren't going to cut it unless you're there to kill time or boredom.

I've seen people completely change their lifes by changing their bodies and I've seen them throw it all away due to their worthless excuses and lack of support and guess what;  they're right back where they started if not worse. Don't be that person. Don't waste your time and your money. If you're going to whine and cry , that's fine but you still need to work out and push yourself.
