Game’s Not Over

I’m working with a client to help him lose a certain amount of weight. He is only five pounds away from his goal and he’s excited to be so close.

“But it’s not like it ends there,” he told me. “It isn’t ‘game over’.”

I am really encouraged by his perspective. He understands that these are lifestyle changes. He isn’t on a diet that he will “come off of” because he reached his weight loss goal. He realizes that to stay healthy and fit, and maintain a good body weight, he will need to continue eating well and exercising.

I’ve seen so many people lose and gain, lose and gain. It’s because they have not made healthy living their style of living. They haven’t embraced it. They haven’t made a commitment to stick with it today, tomorrow, and forever.

In pursuing a healthy body weight and a fit body, the game is never over. Every day the plays we make determine our score. Are you playing to be a winner?
