Success

Success in any endeavor, including health and fitness, begins with the thoughts that you want to attain something. Your desire needs to be strong enough and clearly defined before you will begin to take action. Before you begin to successfully lose weight you need to make the necessary changes, and seek out the ways and means to reach your desired goal. You have to adopt a ?no excuse? attitude and stay focused on your goals.
Do these excuses sound familiar? ?If I just had more time, I would be exercising regularly.? ?I tried to eat low-fat today but my kids wanted pizza.? ?Every time I plan to exercise or eat healthy, something always comes up.? ?Eating healthy is too expensive.? If we continue to blame outside factors, we will continue to get the same results. Many truly believe these excuses are something totally out of our control preventing us from reaching our goals. We think that something, or someone else, is responsible.

The number one and most important step to losing weight successfully is to take 100% responsibility for your actions, which means, you are fully responsible for everything you put into your mouth. Everything you eat is a decision you make. Decisions like whether or not to eat that chocolate cake. Each decision you make you are accountable for. This may sound harsh, but it is a truism.
