Weight Loss Success - Extreme Self-Discipline Made Easy
Everyone has self-discipline to one degree or another. If you are not fit, you simply need to learn to use your self-discipline.
Prior to joining a health club in 1987, I was very undisciplined in every area of my life. For example, in the middle of a freezing North Dakota winter, I received a utility company notice that my power would be shut off immediately since I had not paid my bill.
Of course I had not paid my bill, I could not find it. Because I did not want to freeze, I quickly paid the bill. I realized being undisciplined and procrastinating was not a good lifestyle.
Because of my undeveloped self-discipline, I took 5 years to get my 4-year degree. I just did not bother to exert myself. Developing self-discipline requires energy. Energy comes from exercising. Once I began exercising in March 1987, my energy level steadily increased. I began to realize that I was in control of my life.
Self-discipline is like a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it gets. Conversely, the less you use your self-discipline, the weaker it gets.
The first step to developing self-discipline is simply understanding this: you CAN develop extreme self-discipline! Get the notion out of your head that you do not have self-discipline.
The second step to developing self-discipline is to set up your environment for success. Toss all your trigger foods. How do you expect to be successful at weight loss when you are constantly tempted by those tasty, crunchy foods in your pantry? It is much easier to say no once at the grocery store than have to say no hundreds of times daily to those same snacks.
Replace all fat-promoting foods with fit-promoting quality foods. In Lose the Lies Lose the Weight, http://www.losethelieslosetheweight.com, I provide extensive lists of fat-promoting versus fit-promoting foods which will teach you exactly how to eat for weight loss success.
Finally, join a health club. Gaining control of your discipline requires energy. Energy comes from regular physical activity, not channel or Internet surfing. Exercise eliminated my procrastination and lack of self-discipline.
After I began exercising in March 1987, everything in my life changed. I no longer had to take several naps every day. I began to get things done. I quickly completed my college degree. I wrote Step by Step Phonics, competed in natural bodybuilding competitions (and won), ran 5 K's, got in shape after two kids, started a business, wrote Lose the Lies Lose the Weight, and had the energy to accomplish every goal I set.
Do you realize, my friend, the amount of energy and talents that you haven't tapped into because you have not utilized your self-discipline? What you can accomplish will amaze you once you simply use your self-discipline.
What are you waiting for? You have things to do. Accept that you can and will develop self-discipline. Second, eliminate all those fat-promoting foods. Read Lose the Lies Lose the Weight, http://www.losethelieslosetheweight.com if you need motivation. Finally, join a health club. Once you take these action steps, you will create the life and fitness results that you desire. Take control of your life today.
