One of the first things I do every morning is check the weather forecast. Especially this time of year, when temperatures can wildly fluctuate from the 70's one day to below freezing, I don't know what to wear until I know what the forecast is. Today is starting out in the low 40's, but temps are predicted to get into the mid 60's by later today, so I'll dress in layers and be ready for whatever the day holds.
I have another forecast for you this morning, and it doesn't matter if you live in Alaska or Florida, California or New York. It's the same forecast. It's the forecast for your chance of success on this program.
Regardless of where you live, regardless of how long you've been on the program or how much you currently weigh, no matter how much weight you have to lose or how long you've been overweight, I have the forecast for your success on this program. Ready?
Your chance of success on this program is 100% . . . if you decide to be successful. I know your chance of success is 100% because Take Shape for Life/Medifast works. It's been around for over 30 years and Medifast's products and programs have been recommended by more than 20,000 doctors since 1980. People who follow the protocols of this program lose weight and reach their goal. You are on a program that has been proven safe and effective and the are innumerable success stories from people who never thought they could lose weight, including myself. You can have full confidence that as long as you follow the program, you will reach your goal.
The caveat for this forecast, of course, is that you have to decide. Ultimately, the success of this program depends on whether or not you've made the fundamental choice to be successful. Once we've made the fundamental choice to be successful and get to a healthy weight, we figure out what we need to do to make it happen. I'm not saying that it's always easy, because it's not, but it's possible. If we haven't made the fundamental choice to get to a healthy weight, we will allow circumstances to determine whether or not we're going to stay on plan. Traveling, stress, celebrations and social events - there are always events that can and will get us off plan if we haven't made the fundamental choice to get healthy. If we haven't made that choice, then the forecast for success is 50/50 at best, because life is always happening and there are always things that threaten to interfere with our program.
The forecast for success is 100% dependent on the choices we make. Choose wisely :-)
