An Overview
    
The Inside-Out concept takes a look at your exercise and eating behaviors through a cognitive awareness approach. It deals with your motives, desires, and beliefs toward exercise and food.  If you want to change attitudes and habits toward exercise and eating for the long haul, you're going to have to dig deep into WHY you feel the way you do about them.

The big difference in the Inside-Out program from others is the focus on being aware of your motives, accepting and dealing with unwanted behaviors, and getting quality assistance.  

This will be challenging and will take hard work.  The question is: How important is your health to you? And, are you at the point in your life where:

THERE ARE NO MORE  OPTIONS LEFT!
The only choice you have is to move forward, one step at a time. If you’re not at this stage yet, it’s because you need to figure out how you’re motivated and what’s hanging you up.

From the suggestion box:
1.    Decide if you are a fear runner or pleasure seeker.
2.    Understand if your true motivations are internal or external.
3.    Hang in there until you start to feel the benefits.

You may be hiding behind meaningless things in life that in reality are totally untrue.  Learning to accept your circumstances and limitations may be the hardest part of all. In order to change unhealthy lifestyle habits and attitudes toward exercise, you must look at your belief system as it relates to the unwanted behaviors.

What you say you believe and what the facts are may very well be two different things. You do this with food, activity or thought. Your unwanted behaviors are directly tied to your beliefs developed over time; however, they should never be used as cop-outs!

From the suggestion box:
1.    What are your core beliefs in life?
2.    What unwanted behaviors do you have toward exercise and eating?
3.    What could be the TRUTH regarding those behaviors?

You need guidelines and accountability in life. Find a few selective people to support you and who you can trust to be HONEST. Give them permission to hold you responsible toward your goals. Join a group. Get a role model, have a mentor, let go of the pride, do whatever it takes to keep yourself on the path.
