Would You Stick With Your Diet If Your Weight Did Not Drop In The First 30 Days

I have received a number of comments and congratulations  from my peers in response to posting the before and after pic where I show my body changing from approximately 190 lbs. to 176 lbs.  And, yes, those pics are 30 days apart – February 14th to March 15th.

Here is one comment I recently received:

PS great blog post the other day. Dropping 20lbs in a month is awesome. It is a goal of mine to do the same.

The Hardest Work Was In The First 30 Days

I want to be clear:  I did have phenomenal success beginning after day 31.  However, I did the hardest work from January 15th to February 14th.  Yes, I was super strict with my diet.  Yes, I was working my body to the max.  Most importantly, this was the time where I was working on the very deepest part of my mind and my soul.  The scale said that I barely lost any weight; but thankfully, I made a promise to myself.  I dug deep, deep inside of who I was and I found that I did have the true grit to do whatever it took to see my body change.

Diet and Exercise Are Not As Important As Perseverance

I will go into greater detail about the crazy way I lost 20 pounds of fat and gained 7 pounds of muscle.  But for now, I want to challenge your mind and your soul.  Here is a quick quiz that you can mentally answer; or, better yet, jot down your answers in your personal journal:

• What does it mean to make a commitment to yourself?
• What does perseverance mean to you?
• Can I really change what I put in my mouth?
• Am I addicted to food?
• What does safe and responsible self-experimentation mean to me?
