Don't Give up

I am a personal trainer and the one problem that I come across the most is that it is easy for people to give up. Now I could sit here and tell you that I was raised to never give up and fight through problems, and to be honest, I was, but so was everyone else. So my question is; Why do we all tend to give up on things? Is it because we really don't care about them or is it because they can get hard and time consuming? I believe the the latter is the answer. If things were easy we would all do them. If creating a million dollar business was easy, this country might not be in so much debt. If becoming a professional athlete was easy, I'd be going toe to toe right now with Tim Tebow. If losing weight was easy, shows like the Biggest Loser and other transformation shows would not exist. But I am here to tell you that THINGS ARE NOT EASY so deal with it. I believe that our attitudes determine a lot about our character. If we think losing weight is going to be hard, well then it will be. Now I am not saying that if we think it's going to be easy then it will be, but when the scale doesn't show how hard you worked that week it will be easier to buck up and KEEP GOING. Attitude my friends will go along way in every aspect of life, be it negative or positive. So here is my point; Losing weight is a war not a battle but to ever have a chance of winning a war, you must go to Battle. So today, when it is time to make the decision of going to the gym or staying home because work was just "too hard" today, just do your self a favor and say, I AM GOING TO BATTLE today. The war of obesity in America is kicking every one's ass, so what are you, yes you, going to do about it today? As for me, I am going to battle.
