Are You 100% Committed to Achieving Your Ideal Body?  

If so, this may be the most important article you ever read…

I woke up one day a couple of years ago absolutely committed to losing the extra weight I had gained.  I was just barely squeezing into my size 12 pants and was not happy.  I looked at my partner and said, “That’s it, I’m ready.  It’s time to lose this weight!”  

As a personal trainer, he was happy to help me, but there were a few conditions he attached to the help.  In all my gung-ho excitement, I heard the word “conditions” and sank.  Huh…

He challenged me.  I told him that I wanted to drop down to a size 10.  That wasn’t good enough for him.  He said, “Come on Keri, challenge yourself!  You know you can do that, why not go to a size 8?”  

All the stuff came up in my head and all the excuses… “No way!  I couldn’t do that.  I don’t even know what a size 8 looks like.  I don’t know the last time I was there.”

He gave me that face the personal trainers and partners make, telling me that there wasn’t really a choice in the matter.  Why not go somewhere I hadn’t gone before?  Why not challenge myself to play full out?  

So, I questioned him, “Do you REALLY BELIEVE that I can do that?”  

“Of course you can!” he said.

It was that quick, I was on my way to being a size 8.  But the conditions didn’t end there.  He asked me what would stop me from achieving my goal.  After some thought, I realized some “stuff” about my Dad might hold me back.  

You know what he made me do then?  Confront my Dad!  He said to me “You have one hour to go write a letter to your Dad and then we are going to mail it.  If you don’t do this, I will not train you!”  

Harsh!  With tears in my eyes, I looked at him and wondered if he was really going to make me do this.  He had his serious, I mean it, look on his face and I knew there was no way out.  I stormed off to my room to write a letter.  

Before my journey of having my ideal body ever began, I had roadblocks put in front of me that I had to overcome.  I had to prove to him and myself that I was absolutely committed to achieving my goal.  I had to do whatever it would take to even take my first steps.  

In the past, when you have said you are going to lose weight, have you committed to it?  I mean really said to yourself that you will DO WHATEVER IT TAKES to create your ideal body?  

If you are like many people out there, you may have taken a “someday… we’ll see…” approach to weight loss.  

“Some day this program may work for me.  Tomorrow, I’ll stop eating the junk food.  Oh, just one more won’t hurt.”

I’ve said all those things as well.  This time though… it was different.  

Are you ready to finally make the commitment to yourself to do whatever it takes to have your ideal you?

Just in the nick of time, I finished the letter to my Dad and we went to send it off.  It was one of the hardest things I had done.  I didn’t know how my Dad would react to the things that I had said to him.  Apparently though, it was time to clear the air.  

We got home, and Hugh put together my program.  He started to show me, and again, tears came to my eyes and I wondered how I was ever going to do the things he wanted me to do.  I clearly remember him showing me how to do the 1-legged squats and I thought I was going to die just watching him!  

I know I screamed at him and said, “NO WAY!”  At that point he sat down and said, “Are you committed to doing this?”

“Yes! Of course I am!”

“Then do it! Stop making up excuses.  I will not do this with you, if that’s the attitude you are going to have!  I will only give you things to do that I know you can do.  Trust me!” he fired back at me.

I had to dig deep inside and shut off all those voices in my head telling me that I couldn’t and start to believe that I can.  

The first time I went to the gym after that, I was excited and a bit nervous about how I was going to do all the things I was supposed to do. I figured that as long as I went and did my best, that was better than doing nothing at all.  

I started slowly and pushed myself to a place just beyond where I was comfortable.  I remember doing my first plank, which is an ab training exercise, and I could only hold it for about 10 seconds.  He wanted me to do it for 1 minute!  So, I just kept coming down and getting back up.  

I also remember asking my friends and random girls in shops, “What size are you?”  I didn’t even know what a size 8 looked like to imagine it!  I was on a journey that felt like I was blind.  I just trusted my partner to help me do what was right for me.  

If you are reading this, it must mean that you are on a journey to create your ideal body as well.  I want you to look inside and do what I did, find the commitment you haven’t found before, when it comes to losing weight.  

Decide TODAY that you are going to move forward, powerfully, in a positive way to create your picture-perfect self.  Remember, you control what happens in your life, so commit to doing what you want.  

In the end, I did reach my goal.  I even did it earlier than expected.  I worked super hard at it!  I went to the gym 4-5 times a week and ate amazingly healthy foods.  I eliminated all processed sugars from my diet.  I was committed and did whatever it took!  

My strength increased and I was able to do the plank for a minute.  I was doing 1-legged squats and even started squatting ON the swiss ball.  Even better, I was LOVING all of it!  I felt amazing and looked amazing!

Oh yeah… and a week after sending the letter to my Dad, he called me and apologized!  I was shocked!  Our relationship has gotten even better since then.

Are you ready to create amazing results in your life?  Are you 100% committed to achieving your ideal dress size?  If so, then DO SOMETHING about it!  

Remember how I spoke about trusting my partner as I didn’t know where I was going at the time?  If you don’t know what you are doing and taking stabs in the dark about your weight loss, then ask for help!

When was the last time you found yourself in a bellowing laugh?

What about the last time you laughed so hard you cried (or even wet your pants)?

Laughter = Medicine for the Soul

Did you know that a recent study showed that pre-school-aged children laugh up to 400 times a day, but by the time we reach adulthood, we laugh a mere 17 times per day on average?  (Just by my observations, I would say that laughing 17 times a day would be a stretch for many).

I could go on for ages telling you the benefits of laughter, including an abdominal (and cheek) workout, the wonderful hormones getting released and racing through your system, and connecting with people socially.  Instead of going on with details... just go laugh and find out the benefits for yourself.  It's free, is easy to do and can be done anywhere.  Start now... ha ha ha ha hoo hoo haa heeeee. snort...

In all honesty, if it's a struggle for you to laugh, then smile!  If all of that is a struggle, then pretend to laugh and smile.  Your body doesn't know the difference.  Your body will still love the fact that you are doing it, even if it's pretend.  If you do it over and over throughout the day, it will just become habit and you won't be pretending anymore or you can just laugh and smile without even thinking about it.

When you wake up every morning... laugh before you even get out of bed.  I promise if you do that, no one will ask you if you got up on the wrong side of the bed!  Hugh usually starts by saying some variation of ho ho ha ha ho ho ha ha ho, using different tones.  It doesn't take me long to break out in hysterics and then we are both laughing in bed, before we even get out of bed.  It is so much fun!  Give it a go.

"The most wasted day of all is that in which we have not laughed." Sebastian Roch Nicolas Chamfort.

Play like a child and laugh so hard it hurts!

PS- Have fun laughing and remember to do it frequently throughout the day!  The more you do it, the easier it becomes.   Pay attention to how contagious it its and the amount of smiles you can put on other people's faces just by you laughing.  You will make many people's days by laughing... doesn't that feel great?

PPS- Experiment with different ways to bring on laughter.  If you come up with a fantastic way to make yourself laugh, we would love to hear what you have done.  Thanks for sharing your smiles.

I woke up this morning feeling so amazingly happy for no reason.  AND, I had actually tossed and turned in my sleep for most of the night, which is frequently the case these days, as I am pregnant.  

In any case… I woke up glowingly, ecstatic.  I eagerly went to my computer to find the good news sitting in my inbox that I had received a mentorship with an amazing copywriter that I am very excited to be working with.  

The email wasn’t there…  After days of waiting in gruelling anticipation to hear the choice that he makes, I knew it would be at least one more day to learn what I already know in my heart.  I then carried on with my day with massive smiles on my face and a huge grin in my heart.  


Years ago I took a course in which I studied the mindset of Billionaires.  In the course, one of the most crucial pieces I took away from it, was that every single one of them lives in the “attitude of gratitude”.  

I thought I knew what it was like to be grateful.  I thought that I already held that belief.  Little did I know that gratitude could go so much deeper than many people allow it to.  

I chose right then and there to take on the “attitude of gratitude” and my life has never been the same since.  

I watch so many people walk down the street with frowns and heads down.  As a coach, I listen to my clients be sad and mopey and miserable over little things.  When I look around I just see so much unhappiness these days.

When I walk down the street, I usually smile as I walk by people and give friendly waves.  Everywhere I go I can see beauty in the area, in the person, in whatever.  It is so easy to find the things that are good.  It is so easy to be grateful.

Some days, I feel like my heart may explode with the feeling of gratitude that I have for everything that I have in my life.  

Please bear in mind… I don’t have a lavish lifestyle.  I live in a small unit with my husband and we have two cars that are starting to fall apart.  We rarely go out for nice meals together, and usually cook delicious foods at home.  When we go for little holidays, we frequently camp or manage to find cheap accommodation.  We truly live quite a “basic” life as far as Western culture is concerned.  

With all that being said… I LOVE MY LIFE!  Do I want more? Heck Yeah!  Am I constantly striving to improve myself and my business so that I can take my lifestyle to the next level?  YES!  

The key is to be grateful!  

If you want to have more, appreciate what you already have!

You know how partners, friends or family can have really annoying traits, that no matter what you do, they keep doing that same annoying thing.  Be grateful for those little annoying things.  

My husband leaves his pear cores and other scraps out on the kitchen counter.  Instead of getting mad and annoyed… I now giggle and laugh.  It’s a habit that he has that is just a part of him.  I am so grateful to have him in my life. and that is part of who he is… so I embrace that too.  Give it a go and see what a difference that alone makes in your relationships.

Start looking all around you and all the wonderful things in your life.  Focus on what is great and you will create even more greatness!  

Be like the billionaire and live in the “attitude of gratitude”!

So, you woke up and looked at yourself in the mirror and thought to yourself… that’s it.  I have had enough!  I am going to lose weight.  

Or was it that you went to put your pants on today and you struggled to zip them up? Did you have to pull the trick where you lay down on your bed so that you are flatter to get them to zip up?

Whatever the case… here you are on your journey to losing weight.  How many times have you done this before?  

You decide to lose weight and go on some crash diet… Have you tried the pills and gotten the jitters yet?  What about the frozen meals?  Have you counted your points with weight watchers?  Or maybe you ate all protein with the Atkins diet.  You may have even succeeded with some of them, obviously only to put the weight back on or you wouldn’t be here.

Would You Like to Finally Break Out Of The YO-YO Diet?

Have you finally had enough?  Or is this just like every other time, where you start to make some progress and go right back to your old habits as soon as you lose the weight.  

Don’t worry!  There is an answer!   

I am a coach specializing in weight loss for women.  I am always amazed at the amount of excuses that people can come up with as to why they can’t lose weight.

Stop lying to yourself.  

So something today triggered you to come and find this article and because you have that must mean that you are on another journey to losing weight.  

Are you 100% committed?

If you are 100% committed to achieving your IDEAL body, then you will do whatever it takes to get there.  Right?  Because you deserve it, don’t you?

It’s about time that you put yourself first and take care of you!  You have waited long enough!

So what do you have to do to take the next step in your journey towards your ideal you?  

Do you have to look for yet another diet?  You may succeed over the short term, but what happens when you stop doing all the tedious tasks they have you doing? Did you put the weight back on?  Isn’t it time to face the facts and do something about your lifestyle?

If you choose to FINALLY recognize that it’s time to make a few adjustments to your life so that you can maintain your health and weight loss, then you are exactly in the right place. 


At Targeted Fat Loss, our passion is to help you get your ideal body!  We help you breakthrough all the chatter in your head that keeps you from doing what you want.  

You know when it starts to tell you “that one square of chocolate won’t hurt”, and then 250 grams of chocolate later you’re done (and sick).  OR… I REALLY don’t have time to workout today.  I have to pick up the kids, get the food, work for 6 hours on the accounting, help the kids with their school work, clean the house etc, etc… Oh yeah.. and doesn’t housework count as exercise?

We also teach you ways to eat food that you love in proportions that are good for YOU so that you can maintain your weight loss for a LIFETIME!  Isn’t that what you really want?  
 
I have tried many of the diets out there, did the yo-yo thing and FINALLY found something that works for me.  I can easily maintain this lifestyle and it doesn’t interfere with my daily life by taking up any extra time… I know I am onto something and I am VERY EXCITED!

So, back to getting committed…  

I don’t work with anyone who doesn’t write 3 pages of how their life will be once they have lost the weight.  They must also tell their family and friends that this is their commitment.  A very important part of that is setting boundaries, especially with the family so that you have their support.  (I will write more about that in another article, so stay posted for that).  

If there are certain foods in your house that you know are your “binge” foods or you just don’t ever want to stay away from them, GET RID OF THEM!  

You absolutely MUST pick a form of exercise that you LOVE!  This is MASSIVE!  When you love exercising, you will MAKE TIME TO DO IT.  So if you want to dance, go sign up for dance lessons, if you want to go to the gym, go get your membership.  

Stop sitting on the couch and making excuses as to why you are getting fatter!

Start making up reasons to get thinner!
