The Key to Losing Weight: Discipline

The Key to Losing Weight: Discipline

Not long ago the media was abuzz with the news that Oprah was tired of the diet struggle and had decided to pack it in. It wasn’t quite termed that way however. I think that it was presented that Oprah had come to grips with her body and had accepted herself as she was or some other load of crap.

I got to thinking how good it must be to be Bob Greene. He is Oprah’s trainer, her longtime trainer. His work has been an absolute failure and yet he has made quite a bit of money by publicizing the fact that he is the trainer of the world’s most well known overweight woman. It must be nice to not be able to help your client and still make a ton of money.

Actually, it is not Bob Greene’s fault. I am sure he knows his stuff and has said and done all the right things. I bet he is torn at times. He is happy for the publicity that Oprah draws to him but probably wishes she looked more like Hale Berry. It might help his business a bit more.

The basic problem with Oprah and for so many of us is that in order to achieve fitness we need to desire it and we need to exercise discipline. A personal trainer can only provide so much in the way of motivation. He/she doesn’t live with you and can keep you from eating a pint of ice cream every night with two Hershey’s bars on top.

If you want success in reaching your weight loss or fitness goals then you and you alone need to take the responsibility. You will be the biggest reason for your success or failure. How strong is your self will? How much do you want it? How can you create a mindset that will lead to your success?

Tom Venuto who is the author of the wildly successful and incredibly informative ebook Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle (if you haven’t picked it up then you should) has recently come out with a regular book entitled The Body Fat Solution.

The Body Fat Solution is written about the discipline side of things. What do you need to do to be successful? If you want the mental edge to reach your goals then check out the book. Be honest with yourself. You know what you need to eat. You know how you need to exercise. However, you still haven’t reached your goals. Maybe it is time to explore the mental side of things. Good luck.
