Insanity of Weight Loss

You have probably heard this phrase, but it is certainly worth repeating. “If you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you have always got.” In other words, insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

Be brave to change your habits to a healthy and fit lifestyle. Do be brave to withstand the pain and discomfort of your current habits. If you spend your life eating garbage processed foods, you will hate life later and complain that you should have done something when you were younger.

I like to ask people, “If you could go back and do anything different in your life for your health, what would it be?” Inevitably it is some version of living a healthier lifestyle; I would eat less junk food; I would exercise more; I would be more active. Then I ask, “Why don’t you start now?” I am met with a look of dumbfoundness as if to say, “I can do that?”

It is never too late and anything improvement you do will help you in as little as a few days. It doesn’t have to be, “Stop this lazy junk food life! I am getting off!” But, it could. Small changes can make dramatic results.

Stop the insanity and create the life of your dreams.
