Hitch Fit Living Magazine Volume 6 - May/June 2016 | Page 3

I recently received a message from a woman who saw one of our Hitch Fit transformations. She was so impressed by the changes she saw in the before and after pictures. She could relate to the story that this client shared. Her starting point was similar, she was unhappy and didn't feel well. She expressed to me how much she wanted this for herself. She wanted to feel better, to be healthier, to love what she saw in the mirror, to increase her confidence and be able to walk into a room without feeling like hiding. All great stuff. And a common message that we hear on a regular basis. But then in the next paragraph she began telling me all of the things she was not willing to do, and changes she was not willing to make. She let me know that she had no time for exercise, that she was too busy and too tired to do that. And that she wasn't willing to eat foods that she thought were gross like vegetables and lean proteins. She also wasn't willing to give up most of her current eating habits. She wanted change, but didn't want to make change. She wanted the results without the hard work and discipline that it takes to achieve those results. This got me thinking of how big a difference there is between wanting something, and then wanting it ENOUGH to actually take the action to achieve it. Many people WANT to be fit, to be healthy, to be confident and energetic. I haven't met many, if any, people in my life who didn't want these things for themselves. But I HAVE met many who want them, but aren't actually willing to take the steps to achieve them. I had to be honest with the lady who messaged me. I'll never tell people that transformation is easy, quick or doesn't require changes to current habits. It takes action, it takes discipline and diligence. The rewards for those things are immeasurable. The "after" picture is just the icing on the cake. "Knowing is not enough. Willing is not enough; we must do." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Thank you for checking out Hitch Fit Living! We welcome your comments and feedback.
