Welcome to secrets news issue 13

Let me fill you in on a little secret...

be the best you can be

Adopting a healthy lifestyle and losing weight is so much easier if you are mentally prepared for it. This may sound elementary, but in my experience most "dieters" quit their weight loss/health plan not because they feel hungry or have difficulty with the menus, but because of psychological reasons. Either they become bored or dissatisfied with their rate of weight loss, or suffer a momentary lapse and become overwhelmed by guilt, or feel too "deprived" to continue. And then, in an attempt to explain their failure, many of them blame their diet-plan, their domestic situation, or their congenital inability to lose weight. This process often repeats itself, as a result, some dieters can spend years unsuccessfully trying to lose weight, without ever realising the true cause of their difficulty.

If you are to lose weight permanently and adopt a healthier lifestyle it is important to do it for yourself and for the right reasons. If you decide that you want to lose weight for a specific function, then what happens to most people is that as soon as that event is over they very quickly put the weight back on. That goal was reached, so why care anymore, till the next goal is planned.

Do you want to live a healthy life? There are no guarantees in this world but there are many things that can be done to give ourselves the best possible chance. To eat healthier and exercise regularly are 2 ways. To visit your Doctor for regular check ups is also important and to learn how to deal with stress is vital.

Sometimes it takes something in our lives to trigger us into action. Maybe an illness or even death of a friend, family member or a Dr's warning about your own health.

Wouldn’t it be better if you could take the appropriate action NOW! I don’t mean on Monday or after exams or at a future time. I mean right here and now.

If you don't feel that you are able to commit to this journey or you need some help along the way, then I have an outstanding book which I highly recommend that you read to get you started. I am proud to say that this book, called "be the best you can be" is written by my husband Peter. Peter is the Founder and Managing Director of blackbelt in excellence. He is one of Australia's most sought after speakers and has worked both internationally and with many of Australia's leading organisations as a catalyst for change. It is a very "easy to read" book which will help you to discover the small step strategy to achieve giant results in your life.

For more information and to purchase the book go to www.blackbeltinexcellence.com.au. A percentage of proceeds from the sale of this book are donated to ACCYO, an organisation helping to make Australia a safer place for our children - please refer to website.

Take your first positive step towards a healthier, happier you today. Why wait till tomorrow? Prevention is better and cheaper than cure.

Be safe and have fun

Warm wishes
Sharon
