Are Bad Knees Holding You Back From Fat Loss Success?

What you are about to read is an excerpt from an interview that I did with Shane James 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.
Shane: It was a funny situation. I had been working out and training, doing the treadmill and elliptical and all that kind of stuff. My knees were starting to get sore, and I wasn't quite sure what was going on. They got more and more sore. They got so sore to the point where I couldn't even get out of bed, Scott.
Scott: Wow.
Shane: Yeah. I would get out of bed, and I could barely walk. So I finally went to the doctor and I said to the doctor, "What's going on here? I can barely move. I cannot walk." So they sent me for tests and stuff, and my tests came back, and they said, "Well, Shane, this is what's happened. Your knees have come off their tracks. There's nothing to hold your kneecaps in any more."
Scott: Jeez.
Shane: They were wobbling all over, right? I said, "So what's the verdict? What do we have to do to get this better?" He says, "Well, it's going to take a long, long time, and you've got to quit your exercise." Quit my exercise? So that means I can never exercise again? He says, "No. You cannot exercise."
So I went home that night. I remember this like it was yesterday. I go on home and I was like, "Oh, man! What am I going to do? I can't exercise. Exercise has been my whole life." Now, for that month, I kind of went through a little bit of depression, right?
Scott: Uh‑huh.
Shane: It was kind of like my whole life had been taken away. I'm a motivational speaker. How am I going to be able to stand on stage and speak for eight hours? Now that's gone too. All my goals and all my dreams, just taken away in a second. And I sat there for about a month, and this was when I started gaining some weight. I started gaining weight. I gained about 25 pounds heavier than I had been ‑ overweight.
All of a sudden one night I woke up and I said, "You know, that's just his opinion. That's his belief. That's a suggestion he made to me. I don't have to take that on and hold it out as true right now."
So what I did was I started to visualize. I would lay in bed before I went to bed ‑ half an hour, visualize: I had strong knees. I was healthy. I was vibrant. I felt good. I was the guy with the strongest knees in the whole world.
Scott: Right.
Shane: Yeah. And every morning.
Scott: Not just stronger knees, the strongest knees in the world. Hire that man.
Shane: Did you hear that? And I would visualize that in the morning as well. And then, one of my buddies would call me, certain ones. I'd say, "Hey, look. Don't bring up my knees any more," because every time you say how your knees are doing, they make a suggestion that I have bad knees.
So I don't have bad knees. I said, "You call me and you say, 'Hey, how's the guy with the strongest knees in the world doing?' I'd say 'Fine, great, thank you.'" And so, even when other friends would call me, I would say, "Look, don't bring up my knees anymore. Don't call me and ask me how they're doing." Because everyone will call me and they say, "How are your knees doing." Well, they suck! Hello? [laughs]
Scott: [laughs]
Shane: So they all stopped asking me that question. Now, I was visualizing at home, and then when I started going back to the gym ‑ I wasn't supposed to go back. And listen to this: I was on a treadmill. I could only do 0.5 walking. I was barely moving.
Scott: Mm‑hmm.
Shane: Barely moving. So I started just like that, very slowly. And I would visualize on the treadmill: "The strongest knees. I have the strongest knees in the whole world. Nobody in the whole world has stronger knees than I do."
I did this for about a month every night. And I had everybody around me. I said, "Bring that energy to me. Bring that energy to me. Visualize for me, me having the strongest knees." I believe everybody got on board with me. And a month later, I was up on the treadmill at a 2, then a 3, 4, 5. Now I'm at an incline of 4, and my knees are just about perfectly better. Wow.
Scott: Wow. That's incredible. From someone who is not supposed to exercise ever again, or at least for a very, very long time, and can hardly walk at all, that's incredible, incredible.
That all started with an authority figure, someone whom we're supposed to look up to: a doctor telling you. He instilled that belief in your head that you're not going to be able to do that, and it took you over time to say, "That's his belief. I want to develop my own belief. I'm not going to let him limit me."
Shane: That's right. So often in life, we decide to take on the beliefs and opinions of other people, and we hold them as true. But that's just their opinion. So I even went back to him. I said, "Hey. You know that suggestion you put in my head about my knees? That wasn't very good!" [laughs] Honestly, he didn't really know what to say. He had nothing to say to me. "Well, that's good you overcame it." That's about all he said.
Scott: Yeah. And there are a few things, like even talking about your friends. Your friends were trying to be nice, asking how your knees were, giving you that sympathy. I find that happens a lot in weight loss. People are looking for sympathy. If they've got a thyroid problem, or they've got some other health issue where they struggle to lose weight.
Whatever their excuse or reason is for struggling, their friends come up to them and they're sympathetic and they're trying to be nice to that person, but what that person doesn't need from you is the sympathy. They need those positive thoughts. They need you to instill the positive beliefs to get you to live that unstoppable lifestyle.
