We all know people who appear to sail through life, happily moving from one success to the next. And yet there are others who fail at just about anything they have a go at - but can always tell you why it wasn't their fault. Our civilisation is made up of victors and victims. The difference between the two can very often be reduced to one key thing, and that's attitude.
When embarking on a slimming regime, it's critical to take on the outlook of the victor to get your result. A victim will try half-heartedly to lose weight - never actually believing they'll be slim. The victors mentally commit to a successful outcome, and support their actions with feeling.
Let's envision we're on court for a tennis finale. We listen to the players before the start - One player says the outcome is now in the lap of the gods, whereas his opponent states "I am destined to be the champion!" Who's most likely to succeed?
'Oar' can be used to describe a victor who paddles his way to the winning post. O is for ownership, A is for accountability and R is for responsibility. We can define the victim by the word BED (Blame, Excuses and Denial) - a person who stays in bed and gives up.
The victor 'owns' his own tasks, and doesn't hope for someone else to take the lead. He's liable for his actions, and so he takes account of them (seeing things through by dealing with problems not making problems). He's responsible for the results of his actions, and so doesn't take excuses from himself.
The victim always has a reason for not achieving, and it's rarely to do with him or herself. Slip-ups and blunders are never down to him; he assumes no control and so no responsibility. He makes excuses for under-performing, not realising the only person he's convincing is himself. After repeating this cycle of excuses and blame for a while, the victim is in denial. He's absolutely convinced that there isn't anything he can do to change things.
A person about to start a new slimming program should stack the odds of success in their favour by giving themselves a mental check-over. Anyone who's a fully paid up member of the victim society will have to address their issues before they start, to truly embrace the concept of losing weight.
Continual positive repetition will change a victim's attitude to that of a victor. Pay attention to what you're saying to yourself - if you sound like a victim, then stop dead! Instead, mentally verbalise why you can be successful. Nobody else is superior to you - some have just conquered their victimisation thinking and achieved their success.
"There is no such thing as a hero," as Churchill said, "only those who rise to the occasion." We need to have a winning outlook on life in order to become a winner in the weight-loss arena.
