Why ‘Trying’ Won’t get You Weight Loss Results

So you’re ‘trying’ to lose weight. Try is one of the words I most loath in the English dictionary and here is why. Stand up for me, now I would like you to ‘try’ and sit down. That’s right try and sit down. Huh, confused? Either you do sit down or you remain standing. I guarantee you don’t do an in between sit-squat mid- air unless you are with your sadistic personal trainer. There is no in-between.

Yet when it comes to losing those kilos you love doing in-between. You love ignoring, denying, blaming, rationalising and resisting. “I tried to go for a walk but it was raining and I had a sore ankle.” “I tried to resist the cake but it was my colleagues birthday and I didn’t want to seem rude.” “I tried to increase my heart rate but I felt tired because I had to get up early for a work meeting today.” “I tried to get a workout in when I was out of town but there wasn’t a gym at the hotel I was staying at,” and on and on and on it goes. You love making it seem harder than what it needs to be.

To get the weight loss, the fitness results, the little black dress to fit the reality is simple. Just commit to the present moment as that is where the point of power and change lies. Stop fooling yourself thinking that you are in boots, cake, couch-surfing and all on your weight loss regime when you are ‘trying’. If trying was an Olympic event most of you would be gold medalists.

Whilst this may seem harsh think about this….why would you pay me, your personal trainer, to keep in place your same old behaviours, same old results? It’s ridiculous and in my option you might as well go and flush your money down the toilet.

It only makes sense that if you want a different result you will have to take a different approach. ‘Cultivating Your Inner Pearl’ does exactly that.

The model of change – Evolution of Pearl Producing Mollusks clearly shows you where your commitment and results lies. So where does your commitment lie?
