Don't Make This Resolution!

Don’t Lose Those Pounds!
 
As we move into a new season the number one resolution will be
to lose weight.
 
In one form or another whether it involves increased exercise,
or dieting, the bottom line is that the number one resolution in
America will be to lose weight.
 
And I’m here to tell you, "Don’t lose those pounds!"
 
As we sat in our board meeting for my company, I set goals for
the coming season.  As I set the goals for the company I urged
each employee to do the same for themselves personally.
 
I told them they needed to be specific and that they needed to
write down their goals and bring them into the next weekly
meeting and we would openly discuss any of the goals that they
wanted to share with the rest of the company.
 
At the meeting as person after person spoke there was one goal
that stood out; many wanted to lose weight.
 
I heard, “I want to lose 20 pounds, 30 pounds, 40 pounds.”
Everyone set their goal based on how many pounds they wanted to
lose.  As I listened to everyone who wanted to lose weight,
I made a correction.  I told them,
 
“Don’t set your goal to lose pounds.”
 
I know you’re saying, “Why?”  “Why wouldn’t someone want to lose
pounds to get in better shape, to be healthier, to look better,
why wouldn’t they want to lose pounds?”
 
Because it’s a temporary solution.
 
When they lose the pounds, the goal is over and as a result it’s
not long before the pounds come back.
 
What I told them to do instead was this:
Don’t set a goal based on how many pounds you’re going to lose,
set a goal for the weight that you’re going to maintain.
 
If you are 180 pounds and you want to get to 140 pounds don’t
say, “I want to lose 40 pounds,” say “I want to maintain a
weight of 140 pounds.”
 
When that becomes your goal it changes things.  Once you get to
140 and you creep back up to 145 your goal is still there, the
goal to maintain a weight of 140.  So now you focus on getting
the five pounds off instead of waiting until you hit 180 again
and then begin the 40 pound routine all over again.
 
I’ve seen people take our product at Cerum7.com and lose weight.
The same phenomenon happens, it happened within the company,
they lose the weight, then in a few weeks or months they’re back
up to where they started and repeating the same mantra,
 
“I want to lose weight...
I want to lose weight...
I want to lose weight.”
 
Trust me; it makes a difference in just the simple way that you
state your goal.
 
So don’t lose those pounds.
 
State where you want to stay and stay focused on that weight.
 
Then WRITE IT DOWN and place it where you can see it each day.
 
Leave it there, even after you reach your target weight,
leave it there.
 
So, what weight do you want to maintain?

I heard one the other day.  
 
I started before Christmas and got ahead of the game. It is a 45 day diet.  I've already lost 21 days.

Woo hoo!  Cool  Do you mind if I ask about the details?  (Of the diet, I mean.)

Actually, I could care less what the scale says.  I want to be able to fit back into clothing from the "normal" women's clothing section.  Even if that puts me in a size 12, I'll be happy.  Smiley
