Isn’t this such a true statement.

“Knowing what to do isn’t the problem, it is doing”.

Most of us basically know what we should be doing but we just don’t do it.  I know that was me totally.

I had tried it all, you name it, I had done it.    I knew what I had to do, I just hadn’t made the decision to do it.    I had never totally sold out to the fact that no matter what, I was doing this.  In some strange way, as much as I felt like I hated where I was, it was like I secretly wanted to stay there. I was constantly self sabotaging myself.

I needed to change my thinking, so I made the decision that no matter what, this time, I was doing it, I was sick and tired of being sick and tired and I wanted to take control of my life.

I sat down and wrote my non-negotiables for this journey and stuck to them.  Was it easy to stick to my non-negotiables?  No, it was simple, but not easy and there is a difference.

It really is not rocket science, but, until you get your head right, it is like the hardest thing in the world to do.

Did I still have bad days along the way, when I fell off the band wagon?  Absolutely, but on those days, I stuck to my non negotiables (and on the days you want to quit or give up, you have got to dig deep and stick to your non-negotiables).  That is one big reason you need non-negotiables, to get you through the tough days.

What are your non-negotiables for your weight loss journey?  It may be that you will exercise for 45 minutes 3 times a week without fail, and you will drink 3 litres of water every day.  Whatever you make as your non-negotiables, get them out of your head and on paper and stick to them.  They are called non-negotiables as you cannot negotiate them with yourself when times are tough.

So, take some time, sit down and commit to some non-negotiables for yourself.  Then put them up somewhere where you can see them and read them and stick to them.

I cannot stress highly enough, the importance of doing all the small tips I give you, they all come together and will help you unscramble the weight loss jigsaw puzzle.   Just take the time to do them, I did and it paid off big time for me and I want to be able to share this with YOU and help you make the changes you want to make.
