Are you willing to do the impossible?

Five years success rates for weight loss (those that lose weight through whatever means and keep most of it off for 5 years) is 3%.

Diets work quickly ... and then you regain the weight just as quickly.  Know why?  Because you haven't changed your "go to" behaviors.  Nothing has changed -- you were on a diet but when you go back to real life, nothing but your pant size has changed -- so it will change back.

Some people are successful -- 3%.  How?  By changing the behaviors that got them to their heaviest weight.  You can be one of those 3% -- you can beat the odds.

How?

By doing it everyday.  Making changes you can live with.  Figuring out why you eat the way you do and questioning what skills are working for you and which ones no longer are.  Can YOU do it?  Yes.  But only if you're willing.
