In my not so humble opinion, weight control is all about desire rather than willpower.  How many times have you all heard me say that protocol is 95% mind and 5% diet?  This includes all the phases, P2, P3 and P4.

My goal as a coach isn’t to help people DROP the weight (please see this article about my attempt at not using the words LOSE or LOST in weight control) – my goal as a coach is to change peoples perspective and focus.  So many people have their priorities mixed up, they try to get to goal first and then implement the changes needed to make them long lasting, but no no my friend, my goal is to help them focus on making the changes NOW and then weight control becomes a non issue.  The weight will melt or stabilize on its own.

If I succeed in changing the focus from being on a “diet” or being afraid to live life because of weight fluctuations to a focus of getting healthier and happier and stable (heaven forbid I say NORMAL), then I have been a success at my job.

So I ask you, how intense is YOUR desire to succeed in weight control?  What are you doing to reach your goal?

The people that I am coaching have taken a HUGE step by using a Nutritional Coach to lead the way.  My promise to them is that by hiring me, the hard part is now MY shoulders, all they have to do is listen and implement.  If anything happens, it is no longer their problem but mine.  Talk about relieving a bit of stress eh?

Having a clear focus on the reasons you want to get to a specific number on the scale will help you maintain that desire no matter what.  So here is a question for my readers:

What are your reasons for wanting to get slimmer or more healthy through weight control? Give me just three things you are wanting to accomplish by being at your goal.
