Today. Yes, Today. It's so easy to defer things until later. Until the time is right. Until you're more ready. I've been there too. You're surrounded by a massive to-do list of things that seem to be a higher priority at the moment...or at least they seem more fun. Do you put off making changes that you know you'll benefit from for reasons that really just wouldn't fly if it were your best friend telling you those things? Is this you? I'll start back at exercising....eating better...sleeping more...consider changing jobs.... ...once the boys' hockey schedule isn't so hectic... ...after I get my diabetes under control... ...once I know the price of gas will stay down... ...after every ounce of snow melts in Boston ( - and you live in Phoenix!) You've made promises. Commitments. Resolutions. But haven't followed through. What now? Empty promises that you make to yourself do more than derail you from your dreams. They rob you of hope. They erode your trust. They can make you feel worthless. But What if...? There are what if's in every direction. What if I don't get the job? Sometimes the opposite question can be even scarier - What if I do lose 80 pounds? Ouch. A lot of times we don't realize that not knowing how we'd handle positive changes in our lives holds us back as much as or possibly even more than our fear that things might not work out. It doesn't matter if your nemesis is needing to lose weight, quit smoking, or not sleeping enough to keep yourself focused all day. The core of what paralyze us is often the same. Whether you're curious about weight loss surgery, have had it, or don't care a lick about it, I invite you to watch this video prepared by the American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgeons (ASMBS - Disclosure: I'm an ASMBS Integrated Health member). Watch it with an open mind. Then - think about what's holding you back. Now. Make it real. Say it out loud. My next request is a big one. Really big. I want you to talk with someone about an important change you want to make and what's holding you back. Talk to anyone. Comment here, tell your doctor, tell your best friend. Tell someone you'll never see again. Say it in a forum, say it to a baby, message me privately. You've got 5 minutes to take action. Go!

Sex? Dating? Quit smoking? Lose weight? - What is it you're putting off? You know you're doing it. Read on for some food for thought and a double-dog-dare-you challenge. Today. Yes, Today.
