You want to be thin, but you don't want to lose weight. Let me explain what I mean. When you think about losing weight at this point, you think it's going to suck, right? You have a negative association to it. You think it's going to be hard, difficult, boring, and you don't want to do it. So the real secret to not only getting the results you want, but more importantly, maintaining those results, is that you need to change the way that you think about weight loss from something that sucks and is unpleasant to something that feels incredible and is amazing. Now, this shift is what has allowed me to live at my goal weight for almost 30 years now. It's not that I have great willpower. It's that I completely transformed the way I thought about living and eating in a healthy way.
