The other day I was talking to a friend of mine.
She was having ‘difficulties’ with her weight, and felt demotivated to do something about it. Here’s what she said to me (Paraphrased, it’s been a while):
“Victor, I don’t know what I can do. I eat healthy, I exercise, I take care of myself… but still, when I look at the scale it just keeps going up. It’s just genetics. Fat runs in the family. I’m always going to be this way.”
I sympathize with her.
Because she is right. She does take care of herself. Or at least, that’s what it seems like to me. I don’t know what she’s doing ‘behind the scenes’. That’s only for her to know. But that said, I trust her honesty.
So what is it then? What’s causing her to still -despite all the effort she puts in- to still not see results?
Honestly. I don’t know.
But I do know this:
Blaming it on her ‘’genetics’ is for sure not going to help her. In fact, it’s only going to make it worse. Because by doing that, she’s putting it out of her own control. And that’s the worst thing you could ever do if you want to achieve your body goals.
Why?
Because if it’s not in your hands, what’s the point? Why go to the gym? Why go on a walk? Why eat healthy? It’s not gonna work, because it’s out of your own hands, right? You can do nothing about it, right?
Wrong.
You absolutely can do something about it. For some people it just takes more time, and more work. Sure, genetics make a difference. But it is possible. For everyone. Of that I am very, very certain.
And if you’re ready to make a change yourself, book a consultation call with me.
Send me a reply and I’ll send you the details.
