Reprogramming Your Brain for Weight Loss Success

Knowing what you want may not be enough to get you to your weight loss goal. Reprogramming your brain to look for success with speed up your transformation.

In this video I talk about how important it is to go beyond setting a goal (knowing what you want) and being emotionally invested in the goal (knowing why you want it--emotional payoff) by spending time each day to focus on what you want while evoking the emotionally payoff. Doing this will help create new neural pathways relative to what you want but it has to be done daily for at least thirty days to effectively create a strong neural network that will trump the old program that got you where you currently are. Miss a day and you just might start your thirty days over.
