Day 4: Either way you are correct

"Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you're right." ~Henry Ford

Henry Ford nailed it with the above quote didn't he? If you think you can, you are right, but if you think you can't, you are also right.

Losing weight and getting into shape follows this thinking. If we think we can lose weight and get into shape, we can. However, if we think we will never be able to lose weight or get into shape, we are right about that, too.

It is not easy to break old habits and change our eating habits, but it is something we are fully capable of doing. We just have to set our minds to it and do it.

Our minds are our biggest barriers to weight loss. Forget what the scale says, it is what our own internal critic tells us about ourselves that makes us or breaks us. A pound or two on the scale up or down, means far less than the critic who tells us that we are destined to remain heavy.

Part of losing weight and getting into shape is telling that internal critic to be still for a while. Proper mindset can make or break the battle for each of us.

Choose today to do what you know you can do. I am behind you!
