Your future is in your hands.
It’s up to you to utilize the knowledge in this book and apply it in your daily life. No one is going to write down your goals, create your plan, and hang your action calendar. No one is going to cook your meals, organize your schedule, perform your workouts, or force you to do anything you don’t want to do.
It’s all up to you.
I’ve always believed in the power of choice and the immeasurable strength found in the faith to achieve intended goals. You must believe in your abilities before you become what you seek to accomplish. As I’ve repeated several times throughout this book, thoughts always turn into things. It’s not easy to keep one’s faith, after all, so many of us have become frustrated by the endless weight-loss cycle and are quietly convinced that we failed before we began!
I hope after reading this book you believe you can do it. You can be healthy without sacrificing your professional and personal life. You don’t have to starve yourself or follow an unrealistic lifestyle. You don’t have to give up your favorite foods or banish carbohydrates, abolish alcohol, or eliminate sugar from your life. All you have to do is be balanced but flexible. Challenge yourself by changing your habits slowly. Work in increments of three days, three weeks, and three months and give yourself time to transform. There is no greater gift than realizing your power to change your destiny simply by changing the way you see the world. You can either live passively behind your past failures and present excuses, or you can live aggressively by speeding, striving, and scoring toward a meaningful goal! It’s not easy, but I promise you, it is worth it.
