Change that Sticks

Many people try to change, constantly. It is estimated that nearly half of our population is on a diet at any given time.

Then why is it that the average person in the US is still 30 POUNDS overweight?!

The reason is because people try to change their habits without changing their identity.

They think of themselves as "forcing themselves" to eat healthy or they think of themselves as "fat people on a diet."

Not until you think positively about eating well or think of yourself as a thin person overweight can you really change.

Same thing goes for people who gain a lot of pleasure or embrace an identity of being a nice person. Until they let go of the self-benefit they get from being a "nice person" they will not be able to be assertive and stand up for themselves.
