how true is this....

Mindset
This is the most common downfall for most people. ( in anything for that matter)
Many people who tried weight loss wanted to lose weight badly end up going for the fastest and least sustainable approaches such as diet pills or extreme dieting.

Very often, the mindset is lose the weight fast now and worry about what happens later after giving up on the magic pill. The problem with such mindset is that it only set you up for more misery later because the weight is going to pile back on again in some cases X10.
The mindset should be adopting a permanent lifestyle changes that are sustainable and can lead to a permanent weight loss without relying on extreme measures. Another mindset is been doubtful in yourself. Basically, you cannot even visualize yourself in a different body. If you can't see it happening then you won't even bother making the effort to make it happen.

Workout and visualize the results you desire, hang that pic on your fridge.... think about it .. you will become it!
