Things Everyone Should Consider Prior To Trying To Lose Weight: As Jillian Michaels Says: “Results Aren’t Coming For Free”

You want this…right?! Like really, really want it? Well, guess what?…no diet pill or quick fix out there is going to get you the results that you want. So forget about it. Quit being one of the people that contribute to the billions of dollars that are spent on weight loss products (food, pills, “do-it-all” equipment, etc.) each year. Losing weight is not going to be easy, but I will tell you it’ll be worth it.

Unfortunately (or fortunately, however you look at it), you are going to have to WORK for your weight loss and you are going to have to work HARD. So if you don’t think losing weight is worth the time and effort it takes to get there (contrary to what the infomercials at 3 AM tell you…it DOES take time and effort), you might as well stop reading this now.

Your results are not coming for free, as my favorite celebrity fitness trainer (and girl crush-haha) puts it. You are going to have to eat healthy (most of the time), you are going to have to burn some calories by working out, and you would be doing yourself a big favor to strength train. I understand, there are going to be some people with limitations who are not able to do all these things, but if you can do these things…by all means DO THEM.

I look at it this way, especially after joining Sparks…by not giving it your all when you don’t have limitations, you are literally slapping the people in the face that DO give it their all and DO have limitations. So think if it that way the next time you don’t want to work out…not everyone is BLESSED (that’s right!) with the ability to get a really good workout in. Don’t take it for granted, and get that butt moving!

Bottom line, forget everything you’ve heard about quick weight loss fixes…they are all a bunch of BS in some way shape or form. Remember, instant gratification doesn’t exist in the world of weight loss. When it comes to what causes weight loss, USE YOUR BRAIN…fruits and veggies = good, processed food = bad, water = good, soda = bad, etc. etc. etc.

This is what I try to do when I am considering whether or not I should eat something….I ask myself the question: “Could I have eaten this 1,000 years ago?” If the answer is no, chances are my body is going to have somewhat of a hard time breaking it down and digesting it. Our bodies are still not evolved enough to digest processed foods properly (that’s why they don’t make us feel too hot)…remember this little tip.

Your results may not be free, but they will be worth every single second of hard work IF you stick it out. That’s a guarantee.
