I messed up already...2019 is my year!
If you feel that way, this article is for you: The One Mantra to Adopt If Weight Loss Is Your Goal in 2018.
But...
To those who are still committed to making 2018 your year, here are 8 tips for you:
1) If the only thing that's changed is the date, what you're telling yourself ("2018 is the year!") is delusional.
Otherwise, you're relying solely on willpower and that will vanish as quickly. (Hint: Think back to last year.)
2) Can you see yourself following the diet you started in five years from now?
Better yet, in a few months from now?
If the answer is no — then what you're doing isn’t sustainable. The plan has to be practical, sustainable and healthy. It has to be a way of eating...for life.
3) On Tuesday, January 2nd (the other January 1st), resolutioners kept saying, 'Back to Reality!'
This assumes that every day life can't be enjoyable when you're losing weight.
If you're not enjoying life as you're losing weight, you will never sustain the weight loss.
4) If the only thing that has changed is the food you're eating, you're not going to change for the long term.
Again, you're relying solely on willpower. It's critical that you change your mindset, psychology and habits around food/exercise. Ultimately, your relationship with food and exercise has to change.
This is a big reason why so many people go from one diet to the next, and can't stick with anything.
5) 80% of weight loss is diet.
It’s about what, why and how you eat.
This is why you see people working their butts off in the gym month after month — even with a trainer (!) – without looking any different. You can’t out exercise a poor diet. It’s what you do between exercise sessions that matters most.
6) Do you have a system of accountability in place?
Without it, it’s too easy to get away with thinking, “If no one sees it, it doesn’t count.” How many times have you said to yourself, “I’ll start fresh tomorrow!"
Accountability bridges the gap between what we said we were going to do and what we actually do; it's what ties it all together. It creates follow-through, which is why investing in systems of accountability is so worthwhile.
7) Weight loss is a matter of psychology, not physiology.
If weight loss was simply a matter of calories, we'd all look amazing!
We all know the ‘eat less’ idea! Ughhhh.
Yet, 2/3 of the US population is overweight. Why can't we "just eat less"?
Enter psychology. It's about WHAT (the type of food matters a lot), WHY (stress, emotional, boredom) and HOW (consciously, mindfully, intuitively) we eat.
8) What are you doing differently?
We all know the definition of insanity yet we keep doing the same thing every year in hopes that we'll finally reach our goals.
I know I'm biased but I sincerely believe my program can help you once and for all. So much so, that I offer free lifetime maintenance when (not if) you reach your goal.
I'm sure you've become very skeptical after trying so many things. You’ve lost trust in companies. And, perhaps what’s holding you back most, is you’ve lost trust in yourself. It’s why I made it a no-brainer for you to try us by offering a guarantee. I know what we offer works.
The key to making it work is you believing you can make it work. You'll believe you can make it work when we come up with a customized plan for you that is totally doable. We're going to make sure you feel comfortable from the start. Not to mention, we'll be with you every step of the way. This makes all the difference! It's why we get the results we do.
My confidence in what we do is a result of how many people we’ve helped since 2007. I sincerely believe MBT is the best program out there. And it’s not just because I say it is.
It’s because of the incredible results we’ve been able to get for our clients. It’s based on what our clients have tried before MBT and what they’re telling us.
It's because of success stories like:
People just like you, who were very skeptical but saw something different in our program and gave us a chance.
That chance is all I ask for from you. I know you’ll love what we’re about.
You have nothing to lose. If you're unhappy with the program after a month, you'll get a full refund.
It's impossible to know if MBT will work for you unless you actually try it. Sign up here.
