I said those words to an old friend I had breakfast with this morning. I hadn't seen her in a while, but about 14 years ago, after I'd lost the majority of my excess weight, she decided that she wanted to lose weight too.
So she went on a diet and lost about 70 pounds. She looked great. But she kept on calling herself the same name she did when she was still overweight: ''Fat Butt.''
I warned her to stop doing that. ''Don't call yourself a name you don't want to answer to.''
She ignored me and kept on doing it.
So here we were...14 years later.
My friend gained all her weight back and then some. Her doctor has told her that she is pre-diabetic now.
Still, she's talking to me about going on another diet.
As I listened to her story, I realize there was a profound difference in how my friend approached weight loss and I did back then.
What was that difference?
In the following article, you'll discover the small, but powerful revelation that caused me to succeed permanently while my friend did not.
Could you be making the same mistake?
