The missing link for fat loss

Hi, it's Mike Geary from http://TruthAboutAbs.com &
http://BusyManFitness.com with today's Lean-Body Secrets Ezine.

We all know that there is a huge abundance of information out there
these days on workouts and nutrition for fat loss and muscle building.

With so much vast information available these days, why is the entire
world still getting fatter every year? Each year that goes by, the
overweight and obese percentages of the population continues to go up
steadily. It's a scary trend!

One of the reasons is that there's a missing link that most people
completely overlook in their quest for their dream body.

To help tackle this "missing link", I called in fitness mindset expert
Scott Tousignant to provide an article for you that I thought would
help to finally get you started in the right direction this fall.

Hoping for Fat Loss vs Expecting It

There is a huge difference between hoping to reach your fat loss goals
and expecting that you will achieve them. The major difference is that
those who expect to be living in their dream body have programmed
themselves to succeed and those who are simply hoping are holding doubts
about their chances for success. So how can you avoid falling into the
'hoping' category?

>>>>Eliminate doubt by seeking role models

If you have any doubt in your mind that achieving your fat loss goal is
possible, if you think that you've got to many obstacles and
challenges in your way, if you've failed before and are worried that it's going
to happen again… find proof that it won't!

I guarantee there are many people in this world who have faced greater
challenges than you have and still they accomplished their fat loss
goals. I guarantee that these people failed many times before achieving
their dream bodies, but they refused to give up. I guarantee that they
'expected' to succeed.

Map out a plan – Now that you have role models who have achieved fat
loss success, apply the blueprint that they've laid out for you. Model
their behaviors, attitudes, and actions.

When you have a plan, you know what it's going to take in order to
develop your dream body; What workout programs you are going to follow,
what foods you are going to eat, how much sleep you should get, how often
you write out your goals and visualize your dream body, what you should
record in your journal, how to overcome obstacles and challenges, and
everything else that is required to achieve fat loss success.

Now that you have your plan all mapped out, you've got to know why you
want to achieve this goal. It's time to get fired up and passionate
about how your life is going to change once you are living in your dream
body.

When you reach your fat loss goal, it's not just going to be your dress
size that's going to change. Your self-confidence will blow through
the roof, you may land your dream job or gain a promotion, you may
attract the love of your life, you will have the energy to play with your
children, or even try new activities that you never thought of trying
when you were overweight. The possibilities are endless.

Now all you have to do is "Just do it!"

>>>>Be willing to do whatever it takes

This doesn't mean that you need to go to the gym for 2 hours 7 days a
week. It doesn't mean that you have to be perfect with your diet plan.
Being willing to do whatever it takes means that you have an
understanding of what needs to be done in order to achieve your dream body. It
could mean that you schedule in rest days, reward meals, days where
you do fun activities rather than go to the gym.

It means that when are faced with a challenge or setback, you pick
yourself up, dust yourself off, and drive forward with even greater effort.
The journey towards achieving your dream body is not easy. Accepting
these challenges and setbacks as being a natural part of the processes
and realizing that it is not an opportunity to give up, but an
opportunity for growth, will place you among the people who expect fat loss
success no matter what.

It's easy to hope and dream for a lean and desirable body. Most of us
do that on a daily basis. But it takes a special kind of person to
expect the dream to come true. You now know what it takes to expect
success. Take action and apply these strategies and I expect to see you
living in your dream body very soon.
