" To Believe is to Be Strong.
Doubt Cramps Energy.
Belief is Power."
(FDR to Churchill
in the HBO Film Into the Storm)
Two decades of dieting, binging, resolving and retreating don't only wreck the metabolism and compromise our health and confidence; they prove that we lack credibility with others, with ourselves most of all.
So, when we see success stories, new weight loss plans, best selling books, or great promotions at the gym that motivate us to launch into yet another fitness campaign--how to sustain the effort is the big question.
When the initial rally fades and we want to throw up our hands-- so much of it is driven by self doubt. The best ammunition I ever got for conquering my weight issues for good was when my trainer told me:
"It is impossible for it not to work.
If you do what I say it works every time."
