Guest guest Posted December 14, 2001 Report Share Posted December 14, 2001 The body for life program is not a race. Take your time and ease into it if you have to. Dont quit, dont give up on yourself, trust me. This program has changed my whole attitue and the way I look at my body. I had a terrible self image and did nothing about it for years. The body for life program while not easy has made me more confident and has given me the energy to do things I have not done in the past. I have lost 23lbs and have put on almost as much muscle. If I can do it, you can do it. It is not a race, take a week off if you need to but do not give up, you owe it to yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 14, 2001 Report Share Posted December 14, 2001 ok. Good. neither do I (have what it takes to build my best body in 12 weeks). whew <wiping sweat from forehead> do you have what it takes to build a better body in 12 years? 12 weeks at a time? I'll bet you do. You are trying too hard. Back off, relax. Be " you " . No one else can. So what is " being you " ?

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2001 Report Share Posted December 14, 2001 Well not something a newbie wants to hear! If my past experiences (in life) are anything to go by, this group is going to get lots of posts from me in 2002 (when I begin) claiming I can't do this or I can't manage that. I had an episode two nights ago. My partner was hankering to take me to " the club " (don't ask) for ages and we finally went. After a few herbs spices and some smelly liquid I was a real wreck. Afterwards I got the munchies as I usually do and wolfed down 3 pies and a piece of chocolate cake in less time than it took you to write your post! Later on I thought, over a cigarette, " nah, this isn't me. I can never do this BFL thing. I know myself too well. etc etc etc. " It is true that I am the laziest, slackest most procrastinating person that ever lived in my skin and any excuse or down moment will do. Does that mean I'm not going to give it 100% in the New Year when I come off my medications, and try to change my life for good? Hell no. And neither should you just because you are having a downer. You're human after all. The trick is being able to deal with these times and work some way round them. I've heard it said that just swallowing a shake or something and hauling your butt to the gym can be half the battle won... I can say all this from my dopey haze, safe in the knowledge I'm not you right now. But you just wait until next year when the heat is on for me... I know that everyone on here will do their darndest to help me get through. Don't give up - take a breath of fresh air, and move forward. . > I have realized I don't have what it taks to build my best body in 12 > weeks. I am a nutritional wreck.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2001 Report Share Posted December 16, 2001 Was the protein that bad? I ran out of my Optimum Nutrition and haven't received my order so I had to buy whatever they had at Walmart. I thought the EAS Whey protein sounded safe and it was the cheapest. It doesn't taste like the Optimum but it is okay until my Optimum is delivered.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2001 Report Share Posted December 17, 2001 BZZZZT! Wrong answer, ... but we do have some lovely parting gifts for you... All kidding aside, you do need to realize one very important thing. The change comes from inside YOU... no one can help you change if you are not committed to changing yourself. You have to want to change, work towards changing, and believe that you can do it. There are no easy answers... no one can do this for you, nor can they help you if you are not committed to making this work. Bill stresses this in his book, and you need to take it very seriously... Mental preparation, commitment, and drive are extremely important in making this lifestyle change. We'll be here to help you if you stumble or have tough days, but we can't do it for you. Do it for yourself, and we'll prod you when needed... - Wayne Re: I Quit > Well not something a newbie wants to hear!
