Do you hate how long it takes to lose weight?

Do you feel like giving up when the scale moves slowly?

Ladies, does it make you mad when men lose weight faster?

I'm going to show you 3 secrets you can use TODAY to easily stay on track and enjoy the journey even when it seems slow. 

This deceptively easy process creates permanent weight loss.

SECRET #1: Know the facts about slow weight loss. 

• Statistics show that slow weight loss is more likely to be PERMANENT.
  
  
  
• Slow weight loss preserves lean body mass which boosts metabolism.
  
  
  
• People who lose weight slowly have smaller waists and leaner physiques than those who lose rapidly. 

SECRET #2: Adopt a powerful perspective for permanent results.

Imagine life one year from now. A year will pass whether you lose quickly or slowly. Which of the following feels better to you?

1. You lose quickly with a crash diet.

When you get to your goal, you feel so deprived that you pig out and gain all the weight back...plus a little extra.

You feel discouraged.

A year from now you weigh even more.

1. You make gradual, permanent adjustments.

You make mindset changes that allow you to think like a thin person from now on.

You BECOME a person with a healthy relationship with food and your body.

A year from now you have dramatically improved your physical appearance.

You feel in control and free and confident when you look in the mirror.

Hold this perspective when you notice slow progress. 

Tell yourself, "Slow = Permanent"

How awesome is it that this is the last time you'll ever need to lose weight?

SECRET #3: Shift your focus to gratitude.

If you feel discouraged about your weight, you're focusing on what you DON'T want (to be overweight).

When you think about slow progress, it slows things down even more!

The more you obsess about slow progress, the more desperate you feel. Think of this desperation as "grasping".

Gratitude is the antidote to "grasping".

Gratitude quickly shifts your focus from the problem to the solution. 

It's impossible to feel discouraged and grateful at the same time.

Negative thoughts automatically disappear when gratitude is present. 

ACTION STEP TO TAKE RIGHT NOW: 

Look around the room and notice 1 thing for which you're grateful. 

Close your eyes and say, "Thank you".

Notice how this simple act brings peace. 

Guess what?

You can't feel peace and discouragement at the same time. 

Yes, it really can be this easy.

I double dare you to use these 3 secrets and let me know how things change.
