Imagine what life would be like when you realize
that you don’t have to be perfect everyday.

If you fall off the wagon and cheat on your
meals, it’s O.K.

If you missed a workout you don’t have to beat
yourself up.

Imagine if you no longer felt desperate to lose-weight…

and the pressure to drop 30 pounds of fat in 30 days
has become a thing of the past.

Imagine being 100% certain that you will be
living in your dream body.

I have now developed this kind of attitude and
after this past weekend I realize that I am
unstoppable even when I ‘fall off the wagon.’

I just came back from a vacation for the Victoria
Day weekend here in Canada.

I left the house knowing that I was going to
loosen up on the strictness of my nutrition plan.

Over the past 3 months I have been following my
workout and nutrition programs to a ‘T’ and have
been experiencing some incredible results.

My programs have allowed 1 to 2 reward meals
throughout the week which is usually more than
I ever need.

During my 4 day vacation I didn’t even think about
a plan or what I ate. Mind you, most of the foods
that I did eat were very healthy.

If I felt like eating an ice cream cone I ate one.
If I wanted some cookies I had some. I even enjoyed
an ice cold Corona (maybe my 3rd beer in a year).

Now here’s the cool thing. I didn’t feel guilty.
I didn’t beat myself up for not following my
nutrition program.

When the weekend was done I didn’t panic and try
to make up for the weekend of bad eating all in
one day.

Actually it was very hard to feel guilty when I
had my wife telling me how great I looked in my
bathing suit at the beach.

Did that weekend ‘binge’ set me back?

Sure it did… temporarily.

Right now I am totally refreshed and vibrant.
Crazy as it may sound, it was exactly what my
body needed.

One of the most important things that I learned
from conducting the interviews for Unstoppable
Fat-Loss was that this truly is a journey that
we are on and you have to look at the big picture.

When you realize that you have your entire life
to continue to improve… one, two, three, or even
four days of poor eating can not stop you from
achieving your dream body.

Tom Venuto brought up an incredible point in his
interview. He said, “Most people grossly underestimate
what they are capable of in the long term and
ironically they overestimate what they are capable
of in the short term.”

Tom used the example of telling a female client that
she could be in good enough shape to get up on stage
and compete in a fitness figure competition 18 months
in the future.

The response would typically be, “No way, you’ve got
to be kidding me!” Yet this long term goal is actually
very attainable.

This same person who underestimated her potential
over the long term would try to drop 30 pounds
in 30 days to get in shape for a wedding or
bikini season.

When you overestimate that short term goal, often
times you are striving for perfection every single
day.

And if you are not perfect one day, you beat
yourself up and believe that it’s impossible to
ever reach your goal.

You begin to experience feelings of desperation
like, “If this program doesn’t work for me then
nothing will.”

… Or, “I’ve got to fit into this dress by my
high school reunion or I’ll just ‘die’.”

With beach season just a few weeks away I have
been asked several times what a person should
do if they are trying to get their bodies ready
to show off in their swim suits.

For some people a minor tweak to their nutrition
and workout plan will produce the desired result
of achieving a beach body.

Of course it all depends on what your definition
is of a beach body. Are you trying to get a cover
model chiseled body or do you just want a bit of
a flatter stomach?

You may really want to get that defined athletic
body, but you’ve got over 50 pounds to lose in
the next 4 to 6 weeks.

This is where the BIG PICTURE comes into play.
Setting goals to burn body fat and look better
for the beach season are fantastic because you’ve
set a deadline and there’s a lot of emotion attached
to the thought of looking HOT in a bathing suit.

Here’s where most people ‘fail’. They put all
their hopes and dreams into this beach season and
are striving for perfection.

Perfection is a dangerous word and will set you
up for disappointment every time.

Instead of trying to be ‘perfect’ for this beach
season, I recommend that you focus on being better
this beach season than you were the last and plan
on being better next beach season than you are
this year.

When beach season is over, focus on being better
tomorrow than you are today, and better today than
you were yesterday.

Strive for constant improvement instead of perfection.

I guarantee if you follow this approach you will
attain your dream body.

When you accept that going off your nutrition plan
for a few days will not prevent you from achieving
your dream body you will take a lot of pressure off
of yourself.

When you realize that you don’t have to make up
for it all in one day and that small improvements
each day can add up very quickly, it’s a lot easier
to visualize yourself in incredible shape 6 months,
12 months, and 18 months from now.

Yes you should learn what the reasons are for
the occasional binge, but don’t dwell on it and
definitely don’t beat yourself up. It’s all part
of the journey and it will play a part in your
overall success.

You may want your dream body NOW, but the important
thing is that you actually achieve it and are able
to keep it and continue to improve upon it.

To sum things up, the message that I really want
to get across is to not feel so desperate to get
in great shape.

You can and you will achieve your dream body. You
are capable of much more than you may think you are,
especially in the long term.

Enjoy yourself, keep it fun, and soak up every moment
of the journey.

Isn’t it time that you began to live the Unstoppable
lifestyle?
