Dear friend,

My name is Carrie Moritz, and I've been down the weight loss road for what feels like way too long.  It took me several years and many trials and tribulations to finally understand what was holding me back from the body I wanted, and it all boiled down to the realization that I didn't think like someone who was a healthy person.  I beat myself up for "failing" at the diet plans I tried, and I "tried" to workout, but just couldn't get the motivation to do it.  So what changed? 

What changed was me.  I changed my mindset to become a healthier person, not just to avoid the health problems a close family member was experiencing, but to be able to really enjoy my life.  I was unhappy and unhealthy, and it showed.  So I changed myself, slowly but surely, and put in hours and years of research to learn how to become that healthy person I knew I was.  What those years have culminated in is the book, THAT Healthy Person.  And I'm here to share that experience, and the most effective methods I used, to become THAT healthy person.

Every person who carries around excess weight in this society feels some type of discrimination, anger, or experiences blows to their self-esteem about being overweight.  It's impossible, with the models, the television ads, and the media we are blasted with on  a daily basis, not to feel as though being overweight is the worst thing in the world.  Add to that the constant "nagging" of that same media and your inner self to "lose that weight," and it is no wonder you feel as though something needs to change.

I know that you will be able to succeed as well. Whether you buy the e-book or not, you WILL succeed if you just keep working, picking yourself up, and trying again.  The e-book, THAT Healthy Person: Losing Weight Without Losing Your Mind^© will propel you along the path to that healthy person you know is inside, and it will happen much more quickly with help from the book!  Or, you can just spend years and years, just like me, getting more frustrated and wondering why "IT" just isn't happening!

Here are five rules you must follow if you wish to start along the path to becoming THAT Healthy Person:

Rule #1:  Quit blaming.

Yes, there is a lot of finger pointing in today's society.  Somebody must always be blamed for something!  Well, it's up to you to stop it.  Now.

Nothing will change until you do.  Being overweight or unhealthy is nobody's "fault," because it is just too complex of a subject to have one specific thing be the culprit.  So it is up to you to accept responsibility for the way you currently are, whether you are happy with where you are at or not.  Blaming somebody or something (even yourself!)  is not going to change the situation.

Rule #2: Quit wishing you were someone/something you are not.

Every single person on this earth has flaws!  No matter how much you may be wishing for something, it is never going to happen until you finally take those small, consistent steps toward where you want to go.  So stop wishing and start doing!  If you wish you were 120 pounds and have the right build and height for it (5'3" and under or small-boned 5'6" and under), start taking small, consistent steps every day.  Don't worry about those days where you'll "fail"- just get back up again as soon as you can and KEEP GOING.  Don't worry about getting it all done in one week, or two, or sixteen.  Just do it.

Rule #3: Quit setting unrealistic goals.

Losing all of your weight in one workout is NOT going to happen, no matter how hard you work.  Losing all your weight by taking a pill from a bottle is NOT going to happen, no matter how many bottles you buy.  Losing ten pounds in two weeks is NOT going to happen, unless you're severely obese and suddenly lost a bunch of water weight.

Goals are extremely important, and they are the culmination of the small steps that are taken when you get into action.  They are the result of your behaviors, but they are the result of MANY SMALL behaviors that happen over a period of time.  It is this moment that changes the course of your life, and "this moment" is happening constantly. 

You are always working toward some type of goal, whether you realize it or not. Yes, unbeknownst to you, you have been working toward the goal of becoming the unhealthy, unhappy person you are right now, by making the choices that have gotten you to this point.  All those extra-large portions, all that fast food, all that "Oh, I can have one more slice" or "One more bite" decisions were putting you toward that goal. 

So, if you want to change, you'll have to start making decisions that put you toward the new goal. Making that goal conscious and behavioral will help you realize when you accomplish it.

Rule #4: Start Moving and Stay Moving.

Newton's Law applies to humans as much as it does to any inanimate object.  If an object is at rest, it will stay at rest until an outside force propels it forward.  YOU are your own outside force.  That brain of yours is the most amazing piece of the universe, and your body is next in line.  YOU must decide, and then not argue with yourself, about becoming that outside force that propels you.  "Getting going" is the hardest part, and that is where you will be expending the most energy, creativity, and willpower.  How long it takes to "get going" is up to you.  Will it take 1 day repeated consistently, or will it take 21 days repeated consistently?  Once you've begun, and once you stop arguing with yourself, it gets easier and easier to stay in motion.

Rule #5: Start Challenging Yourself.

Life is an adventure.  An adventure is not outlined by the main character taking the easiest course, it's outlined by the character continuing along the uncomfortable path until they reach their goal, no matter how uncomfortable they are or how much they just want to go home. 

Going home is your comfort zone.  Making those same choices that have gotten you to where you are at now is your comfort zone.  You will have to embark on an adventure to reach your goal, and that adventure will take you down many uncomfortable and unfamiliar paths.  You may hit some "briars" (plateaus) and you may hit some "villians" (saboteurs, including you- your own worst enemy), but if you continue along in your adventure, you will get to where you want to go.

With these rules, and with all the information you will find in this site and in the e-book, you WILL succeed at becoming THAT Healthy Person!  All you have to do is change your mind!


Your friend,
Carrie
