Who Has Time For Weight Loss?-The Myth Of Time
No Time For Weight Loss?
Not enough time for weight loss routines
I know you don’t have enough time to start a weight loss program.
It requires time and energy.
Your schedule is already tight and stressful, and your life is hectic enough..ugh!
Speaking of lack of time reminds me of marketing guru, Sean D’Souza and his approach to writing and never having enough time.
He talks about how when we have no ability to accomplish something, we simply say we have no time because we would be embarrassed to admit the truth.
“When people have no ability they go around saying they have no time”, he says.
He refers to the lack of ability to prioritize, delegate or do whatever we need to do to accomplish our goals, whatever they are.
In other words, we need to learn to eat the elephant one bite at a time.
Starting a weight loss program it’s no different, plus let’s face it…if it’s going to work, it requires effort and persistence.
Let’s examine some typical objections:
Unproductive activities
- Time spent waiting in line buying and eating fast food
- Time spent sitting in front of the television
- Time spent browsing the Internet aimlessly
- Time spent hunting for misplaced things you need
That is A LOT of time spent being overweight and unhealthy!
Don’t you think any of those activities could be changed?
Sure you do.
- It takes just as much time to prepare an unhealthy meal as it does to prepare a healthy meal.
- It takes just as much time to sit on the sofa and watch TV as it does to get outside and take a walk.
- It takes just as much time to order a grilled chicken salad as it does to order a couple of burgers and an order of fries.
Saying you DON’T have time is really your inability to take healthier actions – but that won’t change anything in your life.
If a little dose of self-tough –love it’s what you need…well, maybe it’s about time!
OK-so you’re done with your priorities…
…Now, how do you go about sticking to them?
Understand your trade-offs.
That’s right.
Something’s got to give, and it’s up to you to decide what unproductive activities you must give up in exchange for the future PRIZE.
What's your prize?
So you learn what it takes and apply it.
If you fail you start again, but you keep going until it becomes second nature…and then, wow!
You made it!
We all have the same 24 hours each day.
It’s how much of that time we allocate to important (real or perceived) stuff that matters.
To Your Health!
