Time to Get Real

So you've decided to lose some weight. Chances are you're going to have to lose way more fat than you think you have to in order to get lean. So this is not for you if you're lazy. Or if you're unable to delay gratification. Delayed gratification is literally the basis of your fat loss journey. It's part masculinity, part stoicism, and part Spirit-produced self-control. But it's the most important part of your fitness journey. The strongest sign of masculinity isn't aggression. It's self-discipline. 

When you went to college, you didn't expect to get a bachelor's degree in a year. It's going to take you 4 years. If you did it in 3 it's because you took summer classes. So when you start your college education, you know it's going to take time. You've got to delay that gratification. 

Likewise in your weight loss journey. If you're not willing to commit 1 year, then obviously this is not for you. 9 months is really the bare minimum. It takes at least that long to make that mindset shift, get the routine down, start to see progress, and replace your bad habits with good ones. It really does take that much time. 

If you're full of excuses, obviously this is not meant for you. 

If you're not willing to change your relationship with food, that means you're not willing to change your identity. 

If you're not willing to prioritize your health, obviously this is not for you.

If you can't do that, then you're already sabotaging your efforts. 

Lifestyle is the price you have to pay. 

Just bein real witcha guys.
