Many of us have a difficult time finding the motivation to lose the weight. Such was the case for Randy Learner who had tried unsuccessfully for years to shed his unwanted pounds. But one day he became
very motivated and proceeded to lose more than 103 pounds within the year. Where did he find such powerful motivation? Randy had what I call a Passion Reason (PR). His 5-year-old daughter was in serious need of a kidney transplant and Randy was the only match. Unfortunately, doctors didn’t want to perform the surgery because his obesity put him at too high of a risk for complications. So without hesitation, Randy started eating properly and exercising daily. For the next 11 months, he never complained and never missed a workout. Once he lost the weight, he donated his kidney and saved his daughter’s life. And he has kept the weight off ever since. You, too, must find your own Passion Reason �?but you don’t have to wait for a life or death event. Write down the three most important things in your life; for example, your spouse, your family, financial freedom. Then ask yourself what you will gain in these areas by losing weight. If your spouse is on your list, you might answer “more romance and better sex.�?If it’s financial independence, you might write down “more energy to start a
home business.�?Identifying your motivators will help you move toward your goals, so review your Passion Reasons every day!
