Summary

I think we can all relate to being attracted by a diet promising rapid results. We want the results and that matters more, in the moment, than whether or not we can sustain them.

I loved what I read in a recent issue of The Harvard Business Review:

The good news is, you're making good time. The bad news is, you're lost.

All too often, we care more about pace than sustainability.

This means that we do the same work over and over, we spend far too much time, money and energy on results we won't sustain.

In today's episode, I'm sharing something that most people aren't talking about.

It's really not about how you lose the weight. It's about whether or not you develop the life skills you'll need to sustain your results.

0:55.6	Wanting to hop on that lose weight fast, no matter the cost, bandwagon.
1:00.5	And we get tempted by these new diet plans maybe because somebody we know is doing it,
1:06.4	maybe because the holidays are coming and we feel nervous about wearing a dress or a
