Success is About Attitude

J0400496 Every year I can almost predict with 100% accuracy who will be successful with their weight management goals in December. It's totally about attitude. People that say,


"Sure this is a tough and challenging month but I will do my best. If I slip I will just get back on track the next day and keep going!" These people will be the successful ones. On the other hand, those that say "Why bother, there are so many parties and events, it's just impossible to lose (or maintain) this month."  This group will probably have more weight to lose in January!

Reflect on this: "Attitude is Everything" by Chuck Swindle 
“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company…a church…a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past…we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude…I am convinced that life is10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you…we are in charge of our attitudes."
