"The mind always fails first, not the body. The secret is to make your mind work for you, not against you."
You can't spell challenge without change .This reminds me of the Anthony Robbins quote:
If you're going to rise to the challenge, you have to be prepared to change.
"If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten. "
You are a soul. You are a mind.This is really quite profound and is a very clever statement because it enables us to think of our weight loss in a new way.
You are not fat. You have fat.
You also have fingernails, but you aren't fingernails, are you?
You have hair, but you aren't hair, are you?
You have fat, but you are not fat.
You are beautiful.
"You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery, and I promise you something great will come of it."This advice helped his son in the movie ask a girl out because 20 seconds of bravery is achievable to make that change. The choice of having a better lifestyle for himself was worth that 20 seconds of insane bravery.

"Change your thoughts and you change your world."Think about it for second, if you change what you think about, you change what you say, if you change what say you are much more likely to change your actions and behaviour you are most definatly going to be in a different place than if you had not changed your thoughts. So I for one am a great believer in this quote.
"I guess it comes down to simple choice, really.
Get busy living, or get busy dying."
"Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Helen Keller.

''Change happens when the pain of staying the same is great than the pain of change."It really made me think and I can actually say any bug changes I have got to that point and just gone for it! It has always paid off too.
A man approaches a Zen Master and asks to be shown the path to enlightenment. The Master replies, “Okay, follow me,” stands up, and walks the man to a nearby river and into the water. Without warning, the Master forces the man’s head under the water and holds it there as he struggles violently for his life, until he is nearly dead. At last the Master pulls the man up, gasping for air, and says, “When you want to be enlightened as badly as you wanted to take your next breath just now, come back and see me.Belief, like I said earlier, if some else can do it, then there is no reason you can not achieve it too. NLP is a great believer in this by suggesting 'Modelling'. This means that following the same procedure and actions as the person who lost the weight and achieved the goal like yours. This is a great way to develop the belief because you have seen it work for somebody else.
"The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don't define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them."
