Hey everyone, this is Josh Bezoni, your Slim Body Coach, with this week’s Slim Body Minute. I want to talk about something really near and dear to my heart--and that is having a powerful reason for wanting to lose weight. You see, a lot of people come to me and say; “Josh, I want to lose weight.” The first question I ask them is, “Why?” And by their response, I can usually tell if they’re going to be successful or not. If someone has a powerful reason for wanting to lose weight, they usually follow through, if it’s powerful enough. Here’s an example--I’ve had people come to me and say, “Josh, I have to lose 50 pounds within three or four months or my doctor says I might not be here next year, because of a health issue caused by being overweight.” That definitely is a powerful reason, and that person has leverage over himself or herself to finally take action without making excuses, and to actually be consistent with a regular, healthy lifestyle.

Now someone else might come to me and say, “Josh, I’ve got a class reunion,” or “I’ve got a wedding to attend, and I need to lose 25 pounds in the next 12 weeks, and I’m committed to doing this because I want to look great on that day. I don’t want to feel embarrassed or self conscious, and I want to be full of energy and it’s really important for me to show up there in front of all the other people when we’re getting pictures taken and just feel confident.” And that person’s got a powerful reason.

Another example may be a parent who comes to me and says, “Josh, I’m overweight, my children are overweight, and it’s really negatively affecting all of us. For example, my children are getting made fun of at school for being overweight. Their self esteem and their confidence is really being eroded and they just don’t feel good about themselves, and I feel guilty because I haven’t taught them a healthy lifestyle as far as being active and choosing healthy foods and having healthy foods in the home. I’ve encouraged them to be in front of the TV and we’ve had junk food that’s convenient and gone to fast food places, and we’re suffering the consequences of those choices. I really want to lose weight to get my family back on track.” That is a powerful reason. That’s a powerful reason for a lot of Americans these days because of the obesity epidemic we’re having. So I don’t know what your powerful reason is. But I’m sure you do if you spend a little time thinking about it.

You know, take out a piece of paper, and write down some powerful reasons that you want to lose weight. Maybe it’s just to feel better about yourself. Maybe you have a powerful reason of wanting to feel confident and attractive to your significant other and you want to feel attractive just for yourself, to improve your self-image and esteem because you’ve been living too long in a rut, in that place where you’re not happy. So keep all of that in mind, and when you’re done writing down some powerful reasons, pick one of those and what I want you to do, is go to either the link below--to our Slim Body Coach Forums, or the link below for our Slim Body Coach Journal.

If you haven’t signed up yet, you can sign up and get an account, and if you are signed up, simply log in with your login name and password, and write down your one powerful reason for wanting to lose weight. That’s your assignment this week, is to post online at Slim Body Coach your powerful reason for wanting to lose weight. And, when you post, I’ll put everyone’s name into a hat and the winner will get a $50.00 gift certificate for any of our GNS supplements, including Slim Seduction, our Slim Body Matrix Shakes, and our Energy Matrix Products--whatever product you want, we’ll send you if you’re a winner. All you need to do is post your reply to the question--What is Your Powerful Reason for Wanting to Lose Weight? Do that below and when you do post your reply, don’t put your name--I’m sorry, don’t put your email address, phone number, because it’s public information that people will be able to see and you don’t want any strange people contacting you. We’ll be able to follow up with you through our system and let you know if you’re a winner. I will announce the winner in next week’s Audio Minute, and this is my way of getting you to take action, my way of encouraging you to write down your powerful reason.

Once you get that powerful reason figured out, make sure to post that on your mirror at home while you’re getting ready. Make sure to read that out loud in the morning and at night before you go to bed. Make sure to keep that powerful reason written at your desk at work and in front of you during the day. And do little things to remind you about it because; once you have a really powerful, powerful reason, nothing will get in your way and the challenges will fall to the side as you move forward to the body you really want.

Now if you don’t have a powerful reason and you can’t figure one out, I’ve got one for you--and that is to become a winner in my current $25,000.00 Slim Body Challenge. The person, or I should say people who win--we’ve already had one winner, we’ll have five people overall--I’m taking all of them, and a loved one on a Caribbean cruise that will be coming up at the end of the year and we will all be traveling together and celebrating our accomplishment. You can learn all about that at the link below. I’ll put a link below for the Slim Body Challenge.

So I encourage you to write down your positive reason below at one of the links--click on the links--and I will talk to you next week where I’ll have another inspiring tip. And I want to thank everybody for really taking action to take care of yourself. It’s so important and I’m here to help in any way I can and I hope you have a great week. Take care now.
