I hope to convince you of the importance of creating a sense of urgency, or positive pressure when you're looking for the best ways to lose weight and get in shape. Attaching a deadline to your goal of getting in shape, changes your attitude towards food (one of the major stumbling blocks for most people) and exercise.
Other "roadblocks" will also seem insignificant when you pair a meaningful goal behind a limited time in which to accomplish that goal.
Many women, months before their wedding, start dieting because they want to look their very best on their big day. Knowing "this is the most important day of my life" allows many overweight women to suddenly develop tremendous willpower to "just say no." Foods that previously had full control over their lives are now relegated to an insignificant corner. This is the power of a compelling reason to change (Lesson 1) combined with a sense of urgency.
This kind of positive pressure is very effective and will strengthen your resolve during the inevitable temptations you will encounter throughout your program.
With no deadline, chances are you won't be as faithful to every part of your program. Knowing a deadline is coming you know if you mess up at any point along the way, it could negatively affect your results.
Some people use their high school reunions as one of the ways to lose weight. The positive pressure of not looking old, fat, and ugly in front on a group of people you really want to impress, increases the magnitude and importance of doing everything right to lose fat and get in shape in time. This Lesson is one of the most important ones as far as the speed at which you can transform your body. With no sense of urgency driving you forward, you rationalize you can have that piece of chocolate cake, or go out to dinner with family or friends and "just for tonight" have all the food and drink you care to eat.
Only problem is most people have this kind of "whatever" attitude towards food all the time. This will never allow you to get into the kind of shape you're after, no matter how "good" you say to others that you're eating and you "just can't seem to lose weight no matter what you do."
Stop fooling yourself and get real.
Combine some form of deadline that is important to you, with your goal of getting into shape. This is one of the best ways to lose weight that I know.
