Believe In Your Fat Loss Goals
By Scott Tousignant, BHK, CFC

What you are about to read is an excerpt from an interview that I did with Donna Krech from the MP3 audio program, Unstoppable Fat Loss. If you adopt the mindset that we cover below and apply it to your workouts and nutrition plan, you can expect success and amazing results.
Scott: Great, great. I love it. I love it. So now being a belief builder yourself you must have come across in initial consultations where you see a lot of people with limiting even self limiting beliefs. Along with that, what are some of the things that you see that are holding people back from achieving their dream body?
Donna: You know we just don't realize, people just don't realize, that all we need for success is to change our minds and what we do is teach people how to change their mind. I mean really it is one thing. It's just choosing one thing to change. What we find is, absolutely let me confirm what you just said. Absolutely people have self limiting beliefs but you know what the reason the self limiting beliefs keep limiting them is they don't know they have the self limiting beliefs.
Scott: That's right.
Donna: They don't have any idea that they are there. The first thing is identifying that the self limiting belief is there and Oh my goodness paying attention to your thoughts and your words. Life and death is in the power of the tongue. As a man thinks so is he. This stuff is all true. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Now let's think about the things we say with regard to our body or regard to exercise. I hate exercise. I am never going to get this weight off. I am always going to be fat. My parents are fat. I am supposed to be fat. I really don't want to go on this diet. Gosh I wish I can have that food. I am so limited with what I am allowed to eat and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Scott: Right.
Donna: If we stop and replay that and then you take a look at where your life is at you find that your life has absolutely become a self fulfilling prophecy of the things you said and you thought.
Scott: That's right.
Donna: Now what happens if we just ‑ whether we believe it or not, this is what I tell people, whether you believe it or not, just do it. Try it. Just humor me.
So what happens if we take all those things and we just flip‑flop them, just turn them around? And we say, "I love being a size two fit and looking 20 years younger than I am, with the energy of an 18‑year‑old. I absolutely love that I'm healthy and that when I take great big breaths my lungs become completely full of air.
If we just turn those negative statements into the positive benefits statement, the statement doesn't have to be, "I love to exercise". It really should be centered on the benefit of exercise or the benefit of losing the weight. And that's something else; we really need to pay attention to the benefit. That's what we talk to our members about when we get into never‑ending motivation.
We talk about the self‑limiting beliefs. But we talk about something called a powerful "why?" When a person has a powerful "why?"' they achieve their goals. Too often, we have temporary goals. We think they are goals. "I want to lose weight to go on a cruise" and sometimes you lose some weight to go on a cruise. And what happens when you come back from the cruise? You gain the weight back.
Scott: That's right.
Donna: Or they go, "Oh, my god, my class reunion is coming up. I must lose some weight!" And they lose a little weight for the class reunion. The class reunion is over. They gain the weight back.
Scott: Right.
Donna: When the goal is based around a powerful "Why?" ‑ something that is real, something that matters more than anything. Go and visit a nursing home and you will acquire a powerful "Why?" To be able to keep walking and not fall and break your hip. Watching your kids or grandkids and wanting to run with them and play with them and be down on the floor wrestling with them and listening to them giggle at the top of their lungs ‑ you can't do that if you're limited in movement.
Being able to travel the world with the person you love on your arm, with your tennis shoes on, running the steps of the Eiffel Tower during your retirement years, whatever the case might be, a powerful 'Why' is a much bigger goal. It is a further out goal.
Scott: Right.
Donna: And that's what people need to focus on. There really are only seven different components to maintaining motivation and if we go back to my story, really what we talked about is never‑ending motivation was keeping that "staying forever motivated" ‑‑ keeping that going. And then moving on to the next level, and the next level, and the next level, and the next level. And there are only seven different things that can come against motivation. And if you are aware of them, that in and of itself will build belief.
We went back and said, "OK, we had these self limiting beliefs" and that's absolutely true. But people can do specific things to build their beliefs once they are aware. My sister, who I love and I adore, has always struggled with her weight. She has been on all the different programs. When I began to uncover never‑ending motivation and began to share that with people and teach that to people, she sat in one of my teachings. She came up to me afterward and said, "I can't believe that I never realized I didn't believe I would ever achieve the goal. I just didn't really believe it. That's what's been in my way."
And I will tell you Scott, for the first time ever she is losing weight. She loves exercise. Her personality just completely lights up the room.
Scott: Excellent.
Donna: Her life has changed.
Scott: All from learning to be aware that she didn't believe in herself.
Donna: That's the first key.
Scott: And then just taking that leap of faith and saying, "You know what? I do believe in myself. I can do this."
Donna: And going through some of the exercises that we provide with 'Never‑Ending Motivation', which are all very, very simple. One of them is just so simple. It feels like it is too simple. Once you are aware that limiting beliefs are what are causing your problem, or what's holding you back I should say, than the real key is to begin building the beliefs.
Now, we all know about the belief builder statements, or positive affirmation statements, where we say what we want in a positive present tense. "I love being at this awesome fit, looking 20 years younger than I am, size 2" or whatever the case may be, building that belief statement and looking in the mirror and saying it with a big smile on your face, five to 10 times a day that statement. Your mind begins to cognitively believe what is being said and then you will behave accordingly.
We have all taken different kinds of training like that. But the simplest thing you can do to build belief is pour stories into your mind on a daily basis. It doesn't have to take long. We provide two to three minutes a day for people. Just getting a story going into your mind because it will get filed back there and through the day it will creep up. And the next day you get a different one.
Well what happens is that big storehouse of beliefs just starts getting fuller and fuller and fuller. Well you see belief and unbelief really cannot live together. They are opposites. So the more you build belief and the more that storehouse begins to get fuller, the more unbelief goes away, until eventually, and it just almost feels like magic, it's not there anymore.
Now you're a walking, talking and believing person that you can achieve any goal that you want to achieve. And it began from something as simple as pouring the stories of people who have achieved into your mind. It changes everything.
Scott: Right. Yeah, if they can do it why can't I?
