Have you lost weight, but gained it right back again? . . .

Do you want to lose weight, but nothing works. You have tried this, you have tried that. You have tried everything. NOTHING worked long term.

*** TIP *** Well, you know what? You have not tried EVERYTHING.

You have not, or you would have results. It is that simple. So please do not tell your brain you have tried EVERYTHING. Because that gives your brain no alternative. If it knows you have tried EVERYTHING and nothing has worked, then it stops looking for ways to lose weight. It just gives up. Do you want that? ***

On the up side, would you like to know how you can make a lasting change?

Here are three beliefs you MUST have to make a lasting change.

Something MUST change.

I MUST change it.

I CAN change it.

You must know in your heart that you MUST, not you *should* lose weight. You must think that something MUST change, not that something *should* change.

*Should* never happens. I really *should* go on a diet. Nope. It is not gonna happen. *Should* is not consistent. *Should,* you do when it is convenient. Again, I say, *should* never happens.

If you MUST do something, then you find a way to do it. I MUST do it.

Some of you go to someone to have THEM do it for you, like a counselor, therapist, doctor, whatever. Guess what? If *they* do it for you, *they* might be the ones to lose the weight. You may too, of course, but it does not last very long before you run into difficulty. Then you’re back to where you used to be, but there is one big difference here. You tend to blame whoever it was that you went to. It is *their* fault this didn’t work.

Don’t get me wrong. Going to someone for help is terrific, but if you are not ready to take responsibility for the change, you might just as well save your money.

If you do it yourself, if you know YOU are the source, then you are ready to make a change. No one else can do it for you. Your mantra MUST be *It must change and I must change it.*

Of course, one of the reasons a person doesn’t think they can change is because they have never changed before. Well, guess what? The past does not equal the future. You have to be able to look forward and *create* what you want, even if you’ve never been able to do it before. You MUST.

If you live in the past, you can be guaranteed your future will be the same way.

One way to take care of the future is get rid of your old beliefs that are not supporting you. The ones that say, *I can not do it.* *I’ve never been able to do it.* *People will laugh at me.* Get rid of them by linking massive amounts of pain to them. Think of an old, negative belief, think of pain.

Think of the next old, negative belief, think of pain. Think of the next old, negative belief, think of pain. If you link enough pain to each old, negative belief, your brain will do its best to avoid them, and that gives you a chance to create alternatives.

Think of your new belief, think of the most wonderful pleasure you’ve ever had. Think of your new belief, think of the most wonderful pleasure you’ve ever had. Think of your new belief, think of the most wonderful pleasure you’ve ever had. There. Does not that feel better?

Sometimes, the reason we don’t change is we think change equals pain.

*If I do this, then that will happen.* Ouch. Or the reason we do change is that we see NOT changing bringing us loads of pain. Double ouch. Well, now that you know this, use it to your advantage.

Associate *pain* with overeating. Feel in your gut, don’t just know in your mind. Associate losing weight NOW with massive, extraordinary, *immediate* levels of pleasure.

Some of you are overweight because you rationalize. *I am just a little overweight.* That certainly does not give you enough pain to make you want to do anything about it. What if you said to yourself in a most disgusted tone, *I am fat!* Or how about it if you heard it in your mind with the tonality of someone whom you really admire? Ouch! Having them say it to you would really hurt, wouldn’t it?

OK. Now, think about this. How is that different than *I am a little overweight*? There is a massive amount of pain if someone you admire thinks your fat, isn’t there?

If you take away the pain, you take away the drive. It turns to a *should* and not a *must.*

Change is never a matter of ability. It’s always a matter of motivation.

If someone has enough reason they will flat change, period.

Now, if *should* is what pops into your mind for this sentence below, realize that change is not gonna happen *until* YOU make it a *must.*

If you do not inflict your own painful thoughts connected to overeating, you will not feel the powerful need to do something about it.

*I _______ lose weight.* Which word did you use? I knew it! I knew you could do it! Now, that it’s a must, watch your eating habits change for the better. Good luck!
