Picture Perfect Weight

Consider this scenario. . .

You dedicate 12 weeks to improving your nutrition habits, managing your stress and training hard . . . and the results are in:

• The hypertension and high cholesterol you had?  Gone.
• Your energy levels are consistently through the roof.
• You sleep better.
• You look refreshed, awake, younger.
• You can see a tangible improvement in your physique and the clothes that once tightly clung to you are falling off.
• Your friends and family can't take their eyes off you and are amazed at the transformation you've made.
• You never imagined that you could sustain a healthy lifestyle for 12 weeks, let alone achieve it. . .  and then have a desire to maintain it.
• You are living life to the fullest and filled with happiness.
• You LOVE the way you look.

Can you picture this?  Do you have this image burned into your mind?

Now, you step on the scale in front of you for the big weigh in.  You look down with anticipation and discover. . . that you weigh 2 pounds more than when you started.

Does that change anything?

Ah, thats exactly why I refuse to follow the scale. Even at the doctor's office, I tell them not to tell me my weight because how I feel is more important. I find far too many people have a magic number in their head, and because they are so intent on that number, instead of their overall goals, they set themselves up for disappointment.

Hi Christopher,

Great post. I could really visualize it. Our family has embarked on a lifestyle change - Very little meat, lots of vegetables, lots of fruit, limited sweets and no fast food.

We've been on it about 2 weeks and we've all seen and felt the difference that changing to a all natural, limited fat and low sugar diet can have on your life.

I really like the new look of your blog - it's been a while since I've stopped by - I hope you'll forgive me - the Rotater is keeping me very busy.

Keep up the great work.
