Best Strength

There are some people who seem to breeze through life, rejoicing from one triumph to the next. Whereas there are also those who live at the other end of the spectrum, and make a mess of everything they do. It usually comes down to attitude, where the victors maintain a good attitude, and the victims maintain a poor one.

To realise your target weight on a diet program, you must assume the attitude of a victor. Victims attempt actions over-cautiously, hoping for good things, but never really feeling they’re worthy of great results. However a victor has already visualised his or her success mentally before the reality catches up.

Picture two sportsmen preparing for the final match: One says “It’s my last go – I’ll give it my best efforts,” but the other one says “Winning is EVERYTHING to me.” Who’s most likely to succeed?

We can define the victor by the word OAR (Ownership, Accountability and Responsibility) – a person rowing towards success. Yet if we split up the term ‘BED’ we have the definition of a victim. This is someone who Blames other people, makes Excuses for themselves, and is in Denial about the true situation.

The victor takes ownership of his or her tasks, not expecting someone else to lead the way. He takes account of his actions by taking them seriously. He sees things through by tackling problems instead of creating them. He’s responsible for the results of his actions, and so doesn’t take excuses from himself.

On the other hand the victim will always have an explanation for his lack of achievement. Slip-ups and blunders are never down to him; he assumes no control and so no responsibility. So he can always find an excuse for his lack of accomplishment. With this continual pattern of blame and excuses, the victim lives a life of complete denial, certain that he’s completely unable to do anything about where he is in life.

People approaching a life-changing diet and exercise program need to give themselves a mental work-out, to stack the odds in their favour. To really embrace the health-enhancing program, any traces of the victim syndrome have to be wiped out.

Attitudes (both good and bad) are simply habits, and with constant repetition they can be altered. Take note of what you’re saying to yourself. If your internal voice sounds like a victim – cut it short immediately and change the tone. Don’t think others are better than you – it’s just that some people have fought their demons and come out on top.

“There is no such thing as a hero, only those who rise to the occasion”. Those were the words of Winston Churchill, and they’re just as valid today. In order to maintain successful weight management, we first have to maintain a successful attitude.
