It's really not about will power!
To be successful in losing fat,building muscle and being healthier you must first get your mind right. Don't think of this as a short term solution to a long term problem. We need to realize that this is a lifestyle shift. It's not a 30,60 or 90 day program..this is for life. When people come to terms with this...and EMBRACE it, then success will follow.
Look at food as what it is...FUEL. Calories are energy, don't short change yourself. Choose the best sources you can. Make small changes over time. Exercise 5-6 times a week...do something!!! Humans were not made to sit on their *kitten* for days...
Don't deprive yourself, moderation is key. Realize though that everything you consume are the next building blocks of your new cells. Be consious and present in ALL you do. Surround yourself with positive and supportive people. Be happy for the things you can do, but never settle for just that. Strive to do more. Make big scary goals. Be content in your journey, but never complacent.
But most of all realize you are worth it!
Health is the best gift you can give to your children, spouses, family and friends!
