I have a client who was at 350, now is at 275. How, you ask? Concentration, dedication, and lots-o-time.
With no job, no wife, no kids, this person can concentrate fully on what the goal is. This person can dedicate everything to accomplishing this goal. This person has lots of time. Period.
When I meet a prospective new client, they always ask, "how long will it take me to lose ____ pounds?" I tell them the truth..."I don't know." Lots of factors are involved. Can you really dedicate MOST of your "free time" to this endeavor, and an endeavor it is. I tell everyone it goes a lot quicker if you can quit your job and your family for 2 months. On the biggest loser, this is how it's done. AND, will they do what I ask them to do? Again, this is how they do it on biggest loser, and programs like the Rice Diet Center over at Duke...they have no choice.
Which brings to mind a post I did a while back on CHOICE. Borrowing from Dan John's idea on free will, there is only so much to go around. Here, I wrote about my conversations with someone with very little free will. You want to lose weight, or accomplish a goal quickly, keep your free will, or in other words, don't put yourself into positions where you have to make decisions.
How do you do that? I don't know of many adults that can! You grab time where you can. Time to shop for fresh food, time to workout a little, time to play a litte...it's all there, we just have to carve it out. We don't have to workout for an hour at time, all we need is 15 minutes, here and there, to remain healthy...a little more to be fit for what YOU want to do! Carve out some time...let me know if ou need help!
GO!
