Desiring Weight Loss

The quote above by Eric Thomas helps demonstrate the way to develop your desire to lose weight. In the Silva Method, they say that we need 3 things to action change in our life; Desire, Belief and Expectancy. This quote helps us understand and develop our desire:

"When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breather then you will be successful"
Eric Thomas

It is extended upon by a Zen Buddhism Story which really made us think.

A hermit was meditating by a river when a young man interrupted him. "Master, I wish to become your disciple," said the man. "Why?" replied the hermit. The young man thought for a moment. "Because I want to find God."

The master jumped up, grabbed him by the scruff of his neck, dragged him into the river, and plunged his head under water. After holding him there for a minute, with him kicking and struggling to free himself, the master finally pulled him up out of the river. The young man coughed up water and gasped to get his breath. When he eventually quieted down, the master spoke. "Tell me, what did you want most of all when you were under water."

"Air!" answered the man.

"Very well," said the master. "Go home and come back to me when you want God as much as you just wanted air."

The Silva Method explains the developing of Desire, Belief and Expectancy as:

In working with our students we have discovered that lasting success with any health-related goal—whether it’s to shake off a minor ailment or reduce the symptoms of a serious illness—can only happen when you condition your mind for 3 outcomes:

• Develop a deep desire for your goal.
• Whole-heartedly believe that this goal is possible.
• Fully expect this goal to happen.

We call this thought process Desire-Belief-Expectancy or D-B-E, and although it may sound simple on the surface, mastering it requires a significant level of control over your subconscious mind.
