It\u2019s tough because it\u2019s true.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s still love and I\u2019m saying this because I care about helping you overcome the obstacles in the way. And sometimes, a reality check is just what you need to get you focused on the straight and narrow.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a scenario I saw play out while taking a client through a <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a title=\"3 Tips For a Faster Workout\" href=\"http:\/\/fatlossaccelerators.com\/site\/3-tips-faster-workout\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">MRT workout<\/span><\/a> <\/span><\/strong>at the gym last week. It made my blood boil.<\/p>\n<p>I couldn\u2019t help but witness the drama unfolding two foot away from Eleanor\u2019s push ups.<\/p>\n<p>A fellow trainer at the space was reviewing her client\u2019s food diary on the iPad. This client was airing her frustration at not seeing any fat loss results. Seeing the expression on the trainer\u2019s face, I could tell something was about to explode.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo every night after dinner you eat cookies. Lots and lots of cookies. You have to stop eating cookies at night if you want to see any results.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her client defiantly responded, \u201cNo way. I won\u2019t give up the cookies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3682 aligncenter\" alt=\"cookie cravings\" src=\"http:\/\/fatlossaccelerators.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/cookiemonster11.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"http:\/\/fatlossaccelerators.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/cookiemonster11.jpg 300w, http:\/\/fatlossaccelerators.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/cookiemonster11-204x300.jpg 204w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Hmmm.<\/p>\n<p>The trainer continued to plea with her client to change her cookie monster ways, even trying to get her to cut back to only 3 nights a week.<\/p>\n<p>No beuno.<\/p>\n<p>Listen, I get <b><i>really annoyed<\/i><\/b> when I hear this going on.<\/p>\n<p>Seriously, you refuse to sacrifice a few measly cookies and continue to get mad at your trainer for not seeing fast results? How on earth do you expect to see anything different if you\u2019re not willing to change?<\/p>\n<p>This woman has the wrong mindset, and there\u2019s no chance she&#8217;ll lose that stubborn fat if she continues on her irresponsible, cookie munching escapades.<\/p>\n<p>When you decide to embark on a transformation journey, you must be prepared and willing to make a change, otherwise to be honest, it\u2019s a waste of time. No one forces you to make this decision.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the truth:<\/p>\n<p><b>You must take 100% responsibility for your actions.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the first step. It\u2019s not easy. No one forces the cookies down your throat, do they? Accept it.<\/p>\n<p>Transformation is not for the faint of heart. Initially, it\u2019s like a full time job because it requires a lot of groundwork. Be willing to try a different way of living, experiment with new, healthy food and confront your cravings head on.<\/p>\n<p>You have to step out of your comfort zone. Get uncomfortable, because that\u2019s where the magic happens.<\/p>\n<p>Is life easy eating cookies when you feel like it? Sure, damn right it is. If I ate cookies and sweets every time I had the urge to, I\u2019d tip the scales at over 200 pounds!<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s the one thing you\u2019re cheating on that\u2019s holding you back from taking your body to the next level?<\/p>\n<p>For me, it\u2019s chocolate from an amazing, delish organic brand, Green &amp; Black. Their chocolate with almonds is the bomb.<\/p>\n<p>A number of my clients have pinpointed bread as their #1 enemy. It\u2019s another threat to your waistline. Within a week of eliminating bread from their diet, my clients have seen 3-4 pounds drop off and stay off.<\/p>\n<h2><b><i>So how do you beat this craving?<\/i><\/b><\/h2>\n<p>The answer is so simple, but not anything you want to hear.<\/p>\n<p>Why? Because we always want a magical answer that will allow us to eat whatever we want and still get incredible fitness model results. But it doesn\u2019t work like that.<\/p>\n<h3><b>So here we go. The #1 tip to beat cravings is\u2026<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Keeping these things out of your house.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not the answer you want, but it\u2019s the cold, hard truth that will change your life.<\/p>\n<p>But I believe in YOU.<\/p>\n<p>You can do it.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s destroy our cravings together this fine May, and make the change together.<\/p>\n<p>Find your mission.
