I was talking to a client of mine on the phone today. We have been coaching for two weeks and he has lost 15 pounds. He bought my book back in January, stuck to it for three weeks, fell of the bandwagon, and contacted me for personal coaching to increase his commitment and accountability. I asked him today, "What have been some of the benefits of losing 15 pounds?"
His response surprised me. I was expecting him to comment on how he enjoyed having more energy throughout the day. Instead, he said, "I don't have to worry about getting a heart attack and then being dead...Paying for coaching is a lot cheaper than planning a funeral."
How sobering. He's right. The pain and inconvience of exercising hard and changing ones eating habits is less than the pain and inconvenience a loved one experiences while planning the funeral of someone who passed due to weight related causes.
If you've given up on exercising and eating right because you can't seem to stick to a plan, change your motivation. Don't do it for yourself. Do it for your family and loved ones.
