Today, I want to talk about being scared because that’s a really big obstacle in everything, not only in the weight loss domain. Being scared is often a problem for many things, like:

• if we want to buy a new car
• if we want to buy a new house
• if we want to move to a new city and we have to pay rent
• if we want to start a new business and we don’t know if it’s going to work
• if we did already start a new business and see things not going the way we want
• if we want to take a new job and we can’t imagine the risks
• if we get in another situation: we force things to happen, we can’t wait any longer, and because of that, we mess it up.

Fear goes along with uncertainty. Because of uncertainty, we fear everything.

The problem is that we can’t see the future beforehand. Many times we asked ourselves this, “Well, I see a solution in front of me but I’m hesitating. Gosh, I would love to know if this is for me. Can I see my future if I choose this?”

But this happened to me when I had to choose something I didn’t really feel was meant for me. It was just work or job or another business opportunity that just appeared in front of me. And I had to think a lot about them. I mean, I could have stayed up all night thinking about one of them and not gotten to an answer. In other words, I couldn’t put myself in that mood of being like this, “Oh yeah, I’m going to do this!”.

But do you know what happened to me when a weight loss solution appeared in front of me? Because this is all about weight loss here, not a life situation that I have explained above. Those are things that don’t relate to me. Weight loss resonates with me. Treating my body is what resonates with me. And before responding to that question above, I want to ask you something, “Do you know how many times I’m looking in the mirror and I’m analyzing every tiny detail about my face and my body?” I don’t think you know that I have a mirror attached to one of my apartment’s doors. See the picture below.

It’s right at the end of the hall. And can you guess why is there? So I can watch myself every time I pass by it. So now you know how often I’m looking in the mirror. Even if I wake up in the middle of the night and I go to drink water I see myself in the mirror. And when I do that, I’m always talking to myself like this (this is just an example of many other ways of talking to myself, I’m not going to put them all here :D) “Hmm, your face doesn’t look that good. What did I eat yesterday? Oh, right, you ate that tomato sauce when you were in a stressful situation. Now that got you bloated, your colon screamed for help, and you didn’t eat something to cool down your digestive system. I mean you had apples! Duh. What if someone sees you like this? Don’t repeat the same mistake tomorrow. You should start by drinking water with lemon. Oh, and yes, smile more often. What’s with this tired face? It’s not the end of the world now that you ate that tomato sauce. You’re beautiful. Remember that.”

Okay. Let’s get back to that question: But do you know what happened to me when a weight loss solution appeared in front of me?

Well, the answer is: I didn’t hesitate for a second to try it. I didn’t think too much about it. I didn’t ask myself, “Well, is this worth it? Should I try it? What will happen to me? Is it going to be okay? Is this going to work? And so on.” It was silence in my head and I always said this when a weight loss solution came to my ears, “Very good. Let’s try it tomorrow.”

And after that, I just went outside, bought everything for that specific diet, and the next day I started it. That simple.

And I was anticipating the best results at the end of the diet. I made a report about it. Say, I was looking in the mirror and made statements like this: I lost “x” pounds (therefore I look better; I’m closer to achieving that flat stomach), fewer pimples on my jaw (way better than before), slimmer legs (now I’m closer to looking like a doll), those dark circles – not anymore (How great is that? Huh? Smile now.)
