What is your “big, fat, reason why”; you have signed up for camp? Let me let you in on a little secret if you don’t have a “big, fat, reason why”, camp will not work for you.

Let me back up a bit. What is a” big, fat, reason why”? Here’s an example; your blood pressure is through the roof and your Doctor just told you that you are at serious risk for stroke. His best advice in addition to medication was to get on a diet and exercise regime immediately!

This hypothetical situation is a “Big Fat Reason Why”, and camp has a good chance of working for this situation.

Hopefully you’re not in that boat, so let’s go over some other “BFRW” people attend camp. And see which are the most successful.

- Fitness enthusiast (this person just really loves to work out and has probably done it all)

-This person is a rare breed and because they simply enjoy exercise they will last through the whole camp. Lucky them.

- Friends of a crazy fitness enthusiast, this person got talked into camp. These people usually don’t last.

-If this is you, make sure you come up with your own “BFRW” and keep that friend around.

- Medical issues – Obviously this is a BFRW depending on how real you believe your medical issue to be and how much you personally believe exercise and diet change will help is how well this BFRW will work for you. Your Doctor telling you it will work and you signing up for camp is not all it takes. What your Doctor actually meant when he prescribed diet and exercise was Change Your Lifestyle; the lifestyle you are currently leading is no longer acceptable. And change is not an easy thing for any of us. So take it slow, think baby steps and keep your new healthy goal in the fore front of your mind.

-Your health and your life are your Big, Fat, Reason Why. Get serious with yourself and go write down in your journal what kind of health you want to be in 5 years, 10 years, 20 years from now, how long you want to live and how well you want to be able to play with your Grand Children and Great grand children. What are you willing to change about your current lifestyle to better your health?

- Upcoming Vacation – sorry folks if this is your “BFRW” you had better get more serious with yourself. But now you’re insulted right? Remember we speak from experience, as camp and the diet get tougher, most women will opt for throwing a Sarong around themselves and hanging out with the pina coladas instead of getting to meet the hot scuba instructor in your rockin’ bikini.

-Making this goal work for you- Dig deeper and don’t fall into that trap, Write down your goals exactly what you want to look and feel like by the first day of your vacation, be specific write down dates and emotions dress sizes how you want to look in the pictures that are taken of you. The more specific the better your results will be. Your mind is a powerful tool when it’s given a specific task it will do amazing things to make it happen. So if this is your reason why then stop right here go to a page in your journal and start writing!

- Reunion- ooh this one’s kind of good. Why? you say, ah because other people’s opinions are so important, right? And it’s been so long since you’ve seen these peers.

-To make this goal work for you- Write down in your journal exactly what you want people to think of you. Be honest no one’s going to read this. Write down what you want to look like, how you want to be perceived, how you want the pictures you are in to look and what you want your dress size to be. Be specific. Go write now.

-Your wedding Day- Bingo we’ve hit the motherload. Although this one can still back fire on you due to all the stress. This is usually the most successful.

Why, because it has all the qualities needed for a successful goal.

1. There is a specific date you can’t get out of.

2. There is an end to the date so your mind doesn’t think it has to do the crazy diet and exercise thing forever.

3. You are embarking in a new life with someone you love so your goal is based on going towards something positive not away from something negative.

4. You can’t change what you’re wearing; most women have a dress in mind and a vision of how they want to look in the dress. Thus giving their mind a direct visual command (very important).

5. The day is 99.9% about you and you know it. It’s your day to shine and the spotlight will be on you and you alone, there is no possibility of hiding. ooh scary

Do you see why this goal works well?    It has all the attributes of successful goal setting. So if your BFRW isn’t big enough take some time now and blow it up!

We very much want you to be successful in Boot Camp,

SO GO GET YOUR “BIG, FAT, REASON WHY”

& you will never have to say;

“Boot Camp, like all the other things I have tried, just didn’t work for me”.
