Losing Weight – Losing 20 Pounds Fast – Uncovered

We’re all familiar with some individuals who appear to find life very easy, and enjoy one victory after another. On the other hand, we know others who never quite make it, and always have an answer why things haven’t worked out. Victors and victims make up the world, and attitude is very often the one key factor that makes the difference.

When embarking on a slimming regime, it’s critical to take on the outlook of the victor to get your result. A victim will try half-heartedly to lose weight – never actually believing they’ll be slim. The victors mentally commit to a successful outcome, and support their actions with feeling.

Take two tennis players about to play for a championship. One says “It’s my last go – I’ll give it my best efforts,” but the other one says “Winning is EVERYTHING to me.” Who do you think is taking the cup home with him?

If we split up the word OAR we have the definition of a victor – someone who takes Ownership of his/her task, is Accountable for their actions and assumes Responsibility for getting it done. ‘Bed’ can be used to describe a victim who remains in bed because he’s given up! B is for blame, E is for excuses and D is for denial.

The victor doesn’t expect someone else to lead the way – and takes ownership of his or her tasks. He’s accountable for his actions, and so takes them seriously, seeing things through by tackling problems not creating them. He takes responsibility for the consequences of his actions, and doesn’t allow himself to make excuses.

The victim can always come up with a reason for not accomplishing something, and it’s hardly ever to do with him. Mistakes or short-comings are always transferred on to a third party. Justifications are always made for why he couldn’t perform well – but inevitably he’s the only one who’s convinced! The pattern of blaming others and making excuses leads to an existence of absolute denial. The victim is then sure beyond doubt that he can do nothing about his lot.

To stack the odds in their favour, a mental work-out may be needed for some dieters approaching a life-changing eating program. Adopting the victim’s outlook will prevent a person from controlling the outcome.

Both the victor and the victim thought processes are down to habit. Both can be changed over time. What is your internal voice saying to you? Make sure it’s talking like a victor. Those who achieve their goals are not better than you, they’ve just adjusted their thinking to succeed.

“There is no such thing as a hero, only those who rise to the occasion”. Those were the words of Winston Churchill, and they’re just as valid today. We have to have the mind-set of a winner in order to achieve the weight we want ourselves to be.
