12/19/07 Daily Journal - Lessons learned from the Biggest Loser
WOW! That’s all I can say. Those transformations were amazing! And here I am complaining that it’s been so hard to lose 60 lbs this past year. I have no excuse. I know my stuff, I have all the resources and the knowledge. All I need is the mindset. That has been my major flaw and weakness. As Corinee & the phit & phat crew say it… the Fat Girl Thinking. Thinking that I am not worthy… that I am not good enough. These contestants had 7 months to transform their bodies and put up HUGE numbers!!! So… I know that it can be done. The question is, do I really want it bad enough?
I was also reading a special report yesterday that Scott Tousignant from Unstoppable Fatloss wrote which hit really close to home. The report is a good 18 page read and it basically sums up into this:
- STOP over complicating the fat loss process
- STOP looking for some secret way to lose fat and begin to apply the fundamental principles of fat loss and master them.
- STOP falling for Quick and Easy sales pitches from industry scammers
- STOP looking for temporaty solutions and lay out a blue print for your new healthy and active lifestyle.
- STOP applying a band-aid over the symptom of your problem. Get to the root of the problem, fix it, and build the foundation that is necessary for long term success.
Today is the time for change. Not January 1, 2008. TODAY I will start. Slowy, easy, and steady. My #1 reason - to be fit & ready to start a family and have the dicipline & basic fundamental principles engrained in me so much that it will so easy to bounce back post-pregnancy.
Here are my 1st six goals according to the Goal Snowball Method (in no particular order yet):
- Get at the very least 6-7 hours of sleep
- Wake up at the same time every day
- Workout at least 3 times a week
- No eating 3 hrs before going to sleep
- Do a 30 minute morning walk every day
- Eat portion size meals
That’s it for now. I will add new goals as soon as I finish mastering the ones mentioned.

Excellent post on so many levels. It’s all stuff I should know, I think I know, and yet (until recently) haven’t put into action. Ah, the human condition! The really great thing is, if someone can endure that period of time between deciding to do something and accomplishment, anything is possible.

Steave,
Thanks for visiting my blog & for your comment. I have vowed never ever ever to give up — no matter how long it takes. It’s just a matter of time (hopefully sooner than later) when I will see my dream & ideal body starting back at me! All the best to you on your journey!!!
