Your Lean, Energized, Confident, Self
Bobby’s Case Study
From on track to become short, bald AND fat (feeling. undesirable), but losing motivation, yo-yo'ing, not knowing how to gain muscle while losing fat, and getting zero support from wife
To shedding 14 lbs without feeling deprived, seeing muscular growth, fitting into his suits, killing it at his 30th reunion, and finally keeping those lbs off
If he kept doing what he was doing…
- Life would look stagnant, shrinking vs growing, moving towards death vs life
- He’d die sooner and not get to enjoy his pension one day, which he’d only get if he was alive
- He’d decline physically, with his life diminished, which he called not a pretty sight
- He’d be getting in his own way, things would be harder to do, with more obstacles
What’s possible now that wasn’t before…
- The path feels doable vs hypothetical, with better recognition of what’s possible (i.e. no love-handles)
- As long as you stay on that path, even if it takes longer due to work and life demands, you can get there
