What do you hope to get out of this program?
Why do you want to lose weight?
Is it simply because it was on your New Year's resolution list of goals to achieve?
Is it for a reunion you’ll be attending?
Is it for a holiday?
Is it to fit into last summer's jeans or maybe your favorite little black dress?
I know it’s difficult, we are bombarded by images of all the 'beautiful people'. These images set, what the advertising media, the 'ideal' image. What is that? For women it is begin a size 2, perfect hair and impeccable makeup. For the men it is ripped abs, a 28 inch waist and a muscular body.
The media manipulates us into believing that these images are what we need but that is not how most of us look or will ever look.
We are all different and the world is a richer place for it. Just because we may not be 100 pounds, leggy and 5 feet 11 doesn’t mean that we are not beautiful.
The vast majority of us will never meet those 'goals' but so many people try. If you are over-weight, you know that the weight is not who you are but you are being judged on the extra weight. You know that the person inside you is so much more than the weight and you need to lose the weight for other people to see that.
Just remember, you are a unique and wonderful person and with the correct plan and action you will look great and be healthier.
