Hello and welcome to this episode of the ESG Fitness Podcast. This episode is going to teach you

how to lose anywhere between about four and 12 pounds depending on how much you have to lose

over the next eight weeks. So if you want to do that, this is the episode for you. And there's

going to be a bit of tough love in here, and it's going to be unapologetically me.

So buckle up, be prepared for that, if you don't want that, you can turn over now.

And this is only because this is for people who want to get results, rather than cruise along and be praised for constantly being kind of mediocre.

Now before I get into the action points, you need to get into the right head space.

And I did already warn you that this is going to be a little bit of tough love, but this part is really important.

And as much as sometimes it's a bit

jarring and by the way I'm the same as everybody else like it's jarring for me as well

sometimes this this kind of discussion can be a little bit jarring but it improved your whole life

so the first one is drop the victim mentality. Remind yourself that you are choosing to do this.

You get to do this. You don't have to do this. And that might seem pedantic, but that mental

approach matters so much. No one's forcing you to do this. You are choosing to. And eating a little

bit less doesn't mean that you're missing out. Remind yourself of that. And remind yourself that

you are doing this to improve your life, to enjoy your life more. Not to live like a hermit

for eight weeks. Life is too short for that.

But life is also too short to have a goal and not meet it or to feel uncomfortable in your own skin or to be impacting your health negatively.

Getting in shape should make your life better, not worse.

And if it's making your life worse, you are approaching it either practically or mentally or both in the wrong way.

Second thing I want to say, embrace a bit of hard work.

Getting in shape isn't easy. If it was, everyone would be in in great shape a bit of hard work is a good thing and if it's hard it means most most people won't do it so
