Bad Habits Can Be Fixed


Last season’s Biggest Loser, John Rhode, weighed in at 425 pounds. He lost 220 pounds during the three month competition.  Read more: http://www.azcentral.com/ent/celeb/articles/2011/12/14/20111214john-rhode-wins-biggest-loser-mesa.html#ixzz1hJbWSiuT   Watch out for John Rhode to make it big on the speaking circuit.  He’s a phenomenal speaker!

While being interviewed on Live with Kelly, he was asked if it was difficult to lose large amounts of weight weekly.  He replied, “No, because it was expected and they would not let you fail.”  Wouldn’t it be great in life to receive daily sincere support and have people encourage us to meet desired expectations?  We would overcome just about anything!

Then John said, “But how about giving me credit for the effort it took to put on the extra 220 pounds.  That took years of effort!”   He has an excellent point. All bad habits have a way of creeping up on us.  Then something wakes us up one day and we realize we have made a mess of things.

Remember, it took you years to get to that breaking point for change and it may take years to heal from those decisions.  The key to success is to work on the desired change every day to regain control of yourself and your situation!
