Everyone wants to be thin...

Sure, everyone wants this (or at least a lot of people have this as a goal). But how much do you want it? Do you want to be thin more than you want to eat a sleeve of Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookie? If the Thin Fairy was standing there -- cookies in one hand, wand in another, how much of a no-brainer would it be?

But...with the cookies right there and weightloss further down the road -- what then? Are you prepared to make the choice? The time for choice is here -- I have seen the cookies -- it won't be long until the Troops are lining up outside Sam's selling the beautiful little boxes -- have you thought about what you're going to do?

Being clear in your mental vision of what you want is important. When faced with a tough choice (would anyone like another slice of pizza?), you have to be able to recall what you are trying to accomplish in at least as vivid of detail as the smell of the pizza wafting through the air.

If you want to make changes to your weight, you HAVE TO make changes to the amount you are putting in your mouth -- that is the only way weight loss happens. And in order to do that -- you have to be clear on what you are gaining when you leave that food uneaten.
