Beware The Haters

Getting in great shape will raise you up and the haters will feel abandoned.

It will make you more attractive. It will make you more confident. It will make you a happier and more fulfilled woman.

This is a threat to most people around you.

They are comfortable with the current dynamic in your relationship and they don’t want it to change. When you get ahead, your friends lose the buttons they use to control you.

It can be even worse with your coworkers. They really like the dynamic the way it is. They’re secretly worried that if you get in shape, you’ll get ahead… leaving them behind.

Your spouse, friends, and coworkers are used to their level of power over you. When you get in shape, you change the power balance in your favor.

It’s a rare and truly confident person that will support your transformation. It’s a rare individual who doesn’t feel threatened and is truly happy to see you get ahead. If you have someone like that in your life, good for you. But everyone else tries to subtly sabotage your efforts without even realizing it.

You and I have done it to others without realizing. It’s just the dark side of human nature. No need to get emotional over it.

Here’s what to expect…

They joke about your new diet. They tell you to “just enjoy life and have the dessert like everyone else.” Don’t try to be different, we like things as they are – that’s their message. They call you a “health nut” when you wake up 20 minute earlier to get your workout in because deep down they know that while they’re sleeping you are reclaiming your power.

It’s NOT something they do consciously, but it can have effect on your anyway.

That’s why asking friends for support doesn’t always work.

You’ve reached The Moment. You’re looking to change your life. They’re not. They won’t know how to help unless they’re also truly trying to get in shape or have already gotten and stayed in shape.

When you feel all alone on your path to Sexy Shape, remember that I am right there with you.
