Being in the fitness industry I see failure a lot. Everyone starts out on their journey full of energy, hope and drive. But more often than not that energy and drive fades and that journey becomes a battle. Why?? Is it because you set the bar to high? NO! Are you just destined to fail? Absolutely not!
Let me share a scenario I encounter often.
Most clients come to me with the basic knowledge that diet and exercise is the key to weight loss. So they hire me and work out a few hours a week and start eating better. Some will even follow a meal plan. A few weeks go by and they feel great. They are able to train harder. Their clothes fit better. The scale drops a few pounds. Awesome! Then a few more weeks go by and I notice a shift in energy. My client is struggling to make it to their appointments, when they do train they are struggling to get through the exercises. What happened? Everyone’s reasons are different but in general the client “gave up”. It’s no longer fun to work out, it feels like a chore. You’re craving junk food and feel deprived. And to top it off the scale hasn’t budged in weeks. So you assume there must be something wrong with your body. Sound familiar?
Most people fail for these reasons.
1. You didn’t give yourself enough time.
In a world of instant gratification it’s hard not to want to see results immediately. But it takes time, patience and sometimes even failure before we reach our goals.
2. You weren’t prepared to handle the challenges.
You need a support system. A friend, a spouse or anyone who supports you and has a positive outlook. Then you have to use them when a challenge arises.
3. Your heart just wasn’t in it.
You have to “BELIEVE IT TO ACCHIEVE IT”.
Hope this helps you to achieve your biggest goal. For more info or to set up a private consultation please email me at jamielynn@livewellbefitcoach.com.
