It's more than "really, really wanting it". Let's go through those steps.
First, you have to realize that there is a problem. Most people live in denial.
Second you have to believe in yourself enough that you think you can do it. As per my CTV interview, I was stuck on this step for DECADES.
Third, you have to REALLY, REALLY want it because it is hard to change.
Then you have to know how to do it. A lot of people get this far and then get lost in all the information, misinformation and disinformation out there.
Then once you finally figured out how you want to approach it you actually have to make the bold step of TAKING ACTION.
My running team that I mentioned in the interview, the twelve of us that have lost a combined 1500 pounds, we've decided to get team jackets. The back is going to read "The miracle is not that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start." Every single one of us on the team can identify with that sentiment.
