Man on a Diet: Vincent Tells All - Part 3
There's no keeping a good man down, and no stopping him losing weight! Vince has now lost 53 pounds since July 2000!
Here's Vince's most recent thoughts...
THOUGHTS ABOUT LOSING WEIGHT - SELF BELIEF
At the risk of boring my one Reader senseless, I knock on again about the most important thing of all... SELF BELIEF.
Lots of fellow sufferers list *every* morsel of food that passes their lips - so you can match them bite for bite and do the same..... Invariably, this doesn't work - because we are all different !! [and all have different metabolisms - the rate at which we burn fat etc..] So we wonder why it doesn't work instantaneously for us and lose the will to live!!
:) IT'S ONLY POSSIBLE - IF *YOU* THINK IT'S POSSIBLE
Forget what other people do. That's it, in a Nutshell. Success comes to those that are success conscious... SEE yourself as a thinner person. Set your reduction target *YOURSELF*.. a target that >>**YOU**<< think is possible.
If it's realistic - you'll achieve it much more easily and feel a lot better about it when you get there!! Do it in STEPS.. better to lose 5 lbs than worry about losing 50...
TARGETS are only any use if they are attainable!! Again - WHATEVER THE MIND OF MAN CAN CONCEIVE AND BELIEVE - IT CAN ACHIEVE. See yourself as thin[er] and good looking like me - well thinner anyway!! :)) It's not easy.. keep your sense of humour or you'll get disgruntled and give up.
NO PAIN - NO GAIN
Think Champagne and you'll drink Champagne... better than beer - less calories!! Don't worry - your loss of weight *will* happen. Kill the HABIT of worry, in all it's forms... because it will only hold you back. Reach a decision that nothing that life has to offer is worth THE PRICE OF WORRY. With this decision will come poise, peace of mind, and calmness of thought... and this will bring Happiness and Contentment.......
ADVICE or NOT??
You'll receive lots of advice [from people like me!] who have a thin veneer of knowledge - but like to give the impression they have loads... Keep your eyes and ears wide open - and your mouth closed concerning >YOUR< plans for weight loss. Disclosing them allows others to take great delight in defeating you - because they >ENVY< your success. If only they could be as resolute!!! They will be JEALOUS of the new you... and you'll be on your way towards contentment - surely one of the hardest things to achieve in Life.
You know it makes sense!
YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
