Guest guest Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 ~~~NOTE: This message is a repost from several years ago.~~~ Hi Everyone! (I posted this message on another board and wanted to share with everyone here also. Sorry, it's long! lol) I'd like to preface what I have to say with a little " confession " ... The last few months have been so UNBELIEVABLE for me! But,up until a few months ago I was carrying around a lot of Extra weight.And many times I felt invisible to the world around me.A store clerk, or an auto mechanic may have walked right by me to help someone else as if I weren't even there.Although I lived in a Big Body,I felt small and insignificant. Then, through the process of eating right and working out, my body began to change.With Rob's help and by Just DOing IT, or what I like to call...I " Forrest Gumped " it. Meaning I just did what I believed was right and thought would work,and I did it, and I did it, and I did it...Until one day,my body was Transformed! Suddenly, people began stopping me on my morning runs asking me, " Hey,how much weight have you lost? " " WOW, I can't believe it! " they'd say. Then, EAS called and told me I'd won. WOW! Mind Blower! Mark, the gentleman that interviewed by phone for EAS asked me, " Hey, What did you do to develop THOSE abs? " Now, people see my transformation pics and immediately they'll say, " Great job! " or " AMAZING! " , or something similar. The fact is,I've Never won ANYTHING before In My Life!!! and I've been around for FORTY SIX YEARS NOW!(Laughing) You have no idea what EVERYONE'S words of praise and adulation means to me.(Tears are streaming down my face as I type this.Tears of Great Joy!)My life will Never be the same! Now, for the Great news for Everyone reading this now who hasn't won or attained their transformation yet... I was reading a message left by someone,pleading to know What I did to achieve such a transformation? What did I eat? How did I work out?...The same questions many people ask. The difference was " Uncle Steve's " reply to her questions...WOW! HE BLEW ME AWAY.It's so true.The Most Profound Truths are so simple.But, Steve Captured my Whole philosphy in less than a paragraph. He said, " The tone of that post, plus others.... seems to carry the implicit belief that she(Mina)MUST be doing something radically different than what the rest of us are doing. I'll betcha dollars to donuts, she ISN'T! It always works that way with champions. The difference is mental and mindset, nothing else. That's why Bill devotes SO much of the book to that subject. The body is a dumb beast; the mind is in charge! Trust me on this..... Uncle Steve " WOW! I'm still blown away when I read that.Steve, if you're reading this,I am bowing in admiration to your genious!!! Now, my confession...A part of me, the Very selfish part, would love for everyone to think, " Wow, that Mina is REALLY something! Did you see HER pics? She's Incredible! I don't think I'll Ever tire of reading those Wonderful things...But the Truth is, I have done NOTHING that ANYONE reading these words can't do themselves! Let me be Specific...I lost 85 pounds in about 11 months. That breaks down to about 7-8 pounds per month and fewer than 2 pounds per week.I think we'd all agree that less than 2 pounds per week is healthy, but Not extraordinary, right?The beauty of this is, even if I lost only a pound per week, or had twice as much weight to lose...I'd still get to where I am today...it would just be a 11 months later. I guess the message I'm trying to convey is that I AM SPECIAL!, but so are WE ALL!I did achieve a beautiful transformation. But so can we ALL! Just do what I did. Forrest Gump it! My feelings about what worked for me can be summed up in one word CONSISTENCY!If you read what Bill has to say about Food and Working out and follow what you learn for AS LONG AS IT TAKES to reach your goals,Guess what...You WILL reach your goals.The key is to Do it UNTIL... and then you WILL! I used to get on the scale after working out like a crazy person for a month and find that I'd actually GAINED weight and all Rob had to say was, " I know hon.Now go eat a clean meal and get ready to go to the gym. " PROFOUND!!! I'd have an Awful day at work and be on the verge of tears and ready to dull the pain with " FOOD " and Rob would hold me for a lil bit then gently tell me to get dressed for the gym. Today, and for months now, MY ANSWER FOR EVERYTHING is: " Eat clean and work out! " " OMG, the IRS wants to audit us and the car just fell apart " ... " Great!Let's eat clean and work out! " (laughing) You get the idea. I used to watch the BFL Champions on the video's and think, " Wow, they're so lucky!and they're 'special'... " Now that I've been named a Champion, I can tell you with Absolute certainty that Uncle Steve is right,we're ALL capable of Remarkable Transformations!And it doesn't take " super-human " effort. Get it in your mind that You Will Achieve an Incredible transformation!Don't just believe it. KNOW IT!Eliminate ALL the doubt! Whether you lose weight this week or gain weight the next is INCONSEQUENTIAL!You WILL WIN! Then, just Eat Clean and Work out, and do THAT over and over and over until you reach your goal! Sorry to have been soooo longwinded! God Bless each of you. I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT! Now go and Prove me Right!!! xoxox, Mina Originally Posts #44341 and #44339 – BFL Women’s Club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
