And NOTHING ever will. Unless of course there's a remote, junk food and a television. Sure a lot can happen with what I just named. Let's start with poor health, move onto obesity, depression invasion, self hate, sadness, anger..... are you getting the picture??? What happens here DESTROYS people on a daily basis because they *Choose* to do *Nothing* about something. That something is what you have created sitting in that chair or on that couch. Can you honestly say you are happy with what you've chosen to do to yourself? Are you pointing the finger at everyone else BUT YOU? The answer is clear and the truth is brutal but if you continue to live this way, NOTHING will ever happen and you will stay miserable.
GET UP!!!
I'm constantly asked the same things over and over as what to do to get the 6 pack abs or how to sculpt your legs/arms/back/etc. I'll tell you this, I've been overweight. I've been at that point where I was JUST SITTING THERE doing absolutely NOTHING about everything I hated about myself. I know what its like to not want to get dressed, go out in public and loathe the beautiful people running around in bikinis on TV. But what I refused to do was take responsibility for MY OWN CHOICES and the lack of actions I CHOSE to take.
So now you ask the lingering question we all have; What MOTIVATED Me? The Answer:
I MOTIVATED MYSELF!
Yep, I said it. It didn't take anyone but me because what I saw is I was personally unhappy and was sick and tired of ....... being sick & tired! I didn't want to be that person anymore and I KNEW that inside of me and under the fat layers there was someone DIFFERENT waiting to be unveiled. I decided that I was enough and should be the reason to no longer do nothing about what I couldn't stand. The pictures above show everyone that I have NOT always been fit! You need proof for yourself to see what you don't want to be and that "before" picture we all take, is reason enough to get yourself motivated.
Sometimes it takes more than you. There are others who don't feel they can do it alone because they have no idea where to begin. It may take a fitness model, a friend, a book, a family member or someone else but if you don't reach out to who you want to help you, they won't reach out to you because they don't know you are looking for their help. You need to speak up! When you step on the scale & see the numbers, is this what you see?
If so, its time to step up to the plate and DO SOMETHING! No one else can do it for you but once you decide that you are tired of being where you are and start moving, there will be unlimited resources of help waiting to guide you along the way. If it takes using at home workout programs to follow, DO IT! If it takes a buddy system in the gym, GET ONE! If it takes revamping your entire kitchen to start eating right, CHANGE IT!
One of my very favorite fitness athletes & WBFF PROs, is a woman by the name of Diana Chaloux. Some of you know who she is, some don't. What she shows the world is that no matter who you are, IT CAN BE DONE and she is one of the most humble and uplifting women I've watched over the years. Her non stop help and dedication to people have brought many people to health and fitness. Not by using herself as the role model, but using her real clients, posting the before and afters, to show ANYONE wanting so badly to become super fit and actually feel GOOD about themselves, that they CAN do it!
YOU need to be the reason to live happy! YOU are reason enough to do something that will not only benefit the way you feel, but increase your self worth and passion to WANT to continue to keep going. My personal journey is a continual change. While I train the way figure competitors do, other people do not. That is what makes me happy and that is the desired feeling & look I create by doing it everyday. There are all kinds of different things you can do to feel better. You don't have to want to be in a bikini. You don't have to want to be a muscle packing tough guy and you don't need to do it to impress anyone else. The only thing you need to do is make sure you do what you want for yourself. If thats just simply changing your eating habits so you feel better inside, then do it. Make a move to make the change. No one ever got the results they have by someone else doing the work for them. IT TAKES YOU and the hard work that won't lie when the results from taking action follow.
I was reason enough to make the change. I was reason enough to become who I've transformed into. Mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually, I have changed. It did NOT happen over night. I had to LISTEN to people who knew what they were doing. I had to ASK questions to find out the answers that couldn't be given unless I opened my mouth. I had to RESEARCH what it was I personally needed for my body type and I have to continually KNOW that I will make changes throughout my entire life. You create NEW goals, set new PERSONAL records and new CHALLENGES that will help you continue to grow in more ways than one.
