The most important C-word for getting the body we want

In this journey of life, there aren't many cut and dry markers like start and finish lines. However, there are a ton of marathons we choose to enter (whether we realize it or not).

For the sake of consistency, let's define a marathon in life as a process.

And the reason why getting the body we want is so hard in 6 words is because: It's a process. Not an event.

Dating is a process. Building a company is a process. Establishing trust is a process. And getting the body we want is a process.

Events, on the other hand, are easier to manage, pay for and get excited about.

Processes, though, build results for the long haul.

Hopefully, whatever marathons we choose to pursue are worthwhile ones. And when we focus on the benefits, it's easier to get through the inevitable discomfort we'll face. (In my experience, having support and accountability along with a system to monitor and track progress makes the biggest difference of all.)

But here's the critical mistake so many people make:  If you're going to decide to start a marathon, decide up front that you will not quit when the going gets tough.

No matter what it takes, fight like heck to back that commitment up. (Yes, THAT is the most important C-word for getting the body we want.)

The one question that allowed a famous couple's counselor to have a flawless track record

The one question that set her apart and made her very successful was this:

At the very beginning, before the first session, she'd ask her clients: "Are you considering divorce?"

If the answer was yes, she refused to take them on.

Why? Because there really aren't degrees of commitment. As soon as we consider giving up on anything, we are looking for reasons to support that decision.

If we, instead, commit to a project, or mission, or marriage, then we look for reasons to stick with it.

And when it comes to our health and fitness the reasons to stick with it are literally endlesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

P.S. As a product of divorced parents, I am in no way, shape or form advocating that parents should stick to their marriage, if it's not working. I think the best thing parents can do for their children is be happy themselves (whether it's together or not). I've written a bit about dating / relationships on my personal blog over here.
