WHO'RE YOU GONNA

TELL?

Tuesday, 10 April 2012

Tell what? Okay, who're you gonna tell when

you go on a weight-loss program, that's

who! Well,

unless you have a weight-loss partner, I think the

only person who should know about your weight-loss

efforts, especially in the beginning is...you!

Oh, I know. You're all excited about starting your

weight-loss program. But, truth is, you're a little

nervous too, aren't you? Hey, it's an

important decision, taking on losing the weight. I

mean, just think about it, depending on how much

weight you want to lose, you could very well be about

to change your life, forever...for the better. And yes, it

may be tempting to share your news with someone close

to you.

According to a New York

University study, those people who announced their

weight-loss plans to others, did not end up meeting

their weight-loss goals.

But according to a New York University study, those

people who announced their weight-loss plans to

others, more often than not, did not end up meeting

their weight-loss goals. For one thing, those people

you've announced your plans to, though

well-intentioned, may actually end up getting in the

way of your weight-loss efforts.

For one thing, they start watching what you

eat, how you eat and

checking your body out to see if you've actually lost

any weight so far. Some of them even become "experts"

on the subject and start offering you

weight-loss advice. Hey, who asked

them?! LOL.

But seriously, these same people can get very

annoying. They may constantly ask, have you

lost any weight yet? Or they may see what's on

your plate and say, you're

not gonna eat that,

are you?! Others will constantly ask how much

weight you've lost or may even say something like, I don't

think you're losing weight fast enough. Oh,

please!

Right now, you need focus

and determination...not aggravation from

someone who thinks they're "helping" you!

You're on a solid weight-loss program, like my FoodMover and

you're eating just what you know you should be

eating. Their comments on what you're eating or on

how much weight you haven't lost can just about drive

you nuts. And, right now, you need focus and

determination...not aggravation

from someone who thinks they're "helping" you!

If you have to tell someone you're starting a

weight-loss program, be sure it's a close friend or

family member you know is going to be supportive of you.

They're the kind of people who'll tell you how good you're doing

without trying to tell you what you need to be doing.

And the best thing is, when you don't tell so many

people you're working to lose weight, in time, they'll

see for themselves how good you're looking. And I've

got to tell you, nothing will keep you more motivated

than words like these from one of them...

"Helen, you're looking so good these days! Have

you lost some weight?"

All of you out there who've heard those words, tell

me...didn't they make you feel great!? And doesn't

that kind of positive reinforcement motivate you to keep

fighting and

reaching for your goal? I know it does because I read

it from people all the time in the e-mails I receive.

Make this weight-loss

adventure yours alone.

Okay, make this weight-loss adventure yours alone and

I think you'll do much better at reaching your goal.

So, when it comes to your weight-loss plans, who're you

gonna tell? Well, if you can help it, for

right now, tell...nobody!

Love,
