Rule #1: Take responsibility.
We all need to take full responsibility for the things that happen in our lives. And that includes how big our bellies are. We did it to ourselves - only we can undo it! Only you are in control of what you eat. Only you are in control of your workouts. Only you are in control of whether or not you get out of bed 45 minutes earlier each day to do your resistance and interval training. Once you accept responsibility, the rest is easy. When you know that only you are in control of how many calories come in each day, and how many calories are burned, you can take the right actions to help yourself burn fat.
Rule #2: Get support.
Rule #2: Find or create a support group.
The old saw - "A problem shared is a problem halved" is actually true. If you hook up with like-minded people who are on the same journey as you are, you can encourage each other and increase the effectiveness of your actions. When you are feeling discouraged a support group can help you feel better about yourself and motivate you to reach higher. I would go so far as to say that without a support group your odds of success in achieving rapid weight loss are almost zero.
Rule #3: Give toxicity the flick
If a support group can build you up, guess what a bunch of negative Nellie's can do? They can undermine your best efforts, put temptations in your way ("It's just one donut", they'll tell you), they will share their "true" stories about their failures and how you are just wasting your time. Meanwhile they are growing fatter by the day.
You owe it to yourself after all. It's not them who are going to get heart disease or diabetes if they don't lose weight. It's you! So stand up for yourself. Get tough and take responsibility for your actions. Tell them you're not interested.
Clean up your kitchen and your family if you need to. Dump the junk food. If it's not there, you won't be tempted to eat it. No more chips, soda, candy, or processed foods of any kind. Get rid of it! You're not a super saint so remove temptation. Get a program that focuses on the right foods, especially foods that help you burn fat. Good foods burn fat. Bad ones build fat. Find out the difference.
Rule #4: Perseverance.
Rule #4: It's always too soon to quit.
Rule #5: Keep records.
Determination is what separates the successful for the "wannabees". Like any muscle it has to be exercised to grow. Like any muscle there is a bit of discomfort on the say to growth and a lot of self-revelation. Are you really going to commit or quit like you have every other time. Now is the time to back yourself into a corner and make failure and quitting just unacceptable. Write down your goals and read then ten times a day until you see no other possibility but success. Remember Rule Number 1? You have the power if you want it.
Did you know that if you take longer than 6 minutes to walk 1/4 mile, your chance of premature death from a heart attack is 300 times higher than someone who can walk 1/4 mile in under 5 minutes? Keep a record of your progress and move it if you want to lose it. Keeping a record is also a great way to motivate yourself asyou watch steady progress week to week.
Review your workouts and diet frequently to identify what is working. That way, you can always come back to successful programs in the future when you are struggling.
Be faithful. Follow these rules for success. As surely as the soda and chips put the pounds on, your dedication and determination will take them off.
