Weight loss. Secret. How many times have you seen that 3-word combination linked together? More than once, I’m sure. Which leads naturally to this question: Are there really any weight loss secrets?
Well jeez, there must be because I don’t see very many folks getting thinner. In fact, our society is fatter than ever before! Ah, but you know all this stuff. I don’t need to tell you how many people are overweight. You are reading this article for some weight loss secrets. Of course people are overweight!
Okay, so hold on…
I’m going to give you a weight loss secret. This secret is so big is may shock you. This secret is so big, so gigantic that you may not even realize how bog it is when I tell you.
That’s scary. It’s “that” big. It’s so big that it holds the key to your weight loss future. You must embrace what I’m about to tell you; otherwise your weight loss efforts may be forever doomed to failure. You wouldn’t want that, would you?
Here it is. One word: Detachment.
Detachment from your current reality and re-attachment to a sub-reality that you currently cannot envision: this takes awareness. It takes an acute observation for what is now, and what “can be” in your very near future.
Simply put, you have to let go of your current physical expectations. You have to make a decision to let the weight loss results take care of themselves, and have faith in the weight loss process. Commit to doing the work, without fail. Get “into” the work. Diet. Exercise. Mental preparation. Enjoy the challenge of it all.
Forget (for just a little while) about the physical results. The world is moving so fast. The key to your weight loss success is to “slow down” so that you can recognize the world around you, and come to “realize” that 12-weeks from now it doesn’t matter.
12-weeks? Who cares? Will you be alive a year from now?
The results will take care of themselves, but not with an impatient mind. An impatient mind guarantees that you will be on the bandwagon for the next weight loss secret that comes along. An impatient mind guarantees that you are easy prey for the next diet guru’s celebrity endorsed, best selling, whatchamacallit.
A patient mind pulls back from what “is” and is able to recognize a different future, a permanent weight loss reality that “can be,” a future mentality that considers further into the future than the next 12-weeks. A patient mind sees the long-term perspective and intermingles it with present day observation. Then a patient mind takes action in faith.
That’s the secret. To become clear and gain a more detached view of the weight loss success you desire. To act on faith without expectation of somebody else’s results, without disappointment because having faith in yourself guarantees success awaits you.
