5 Minute Freewrite Challenge Day 297 Drive
The question of drive is a big one in weight loss. What will give you the drive to get to a goal that may take years to see?
I work with people that are morbidly obese and they cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel. They think that nothing they do will work, Nothing has worked in the past and they just keep getting bigger and bigger.
In my years of doing this work, I have found that drive needs to come from within. It may be a fear such as not wanting to die fat. It may be a goal such as wanting to look normal. But it has to come from you – not from your friends or family, and not from doctors who constantly tell you to lose weight.
The successful people I work with have some strong motivation that never leaves their thoughts. They used to have no hope. Now suddenly they are focused and will try anything and try consistently until they succeed or die trying.
I reach out constantly on many social media channels trying to give answers. But until the person is driven to change, my help falls on deaf ears.
