Overcoming your barriers to weight loss success by Dr. Frank Smoot

Here is the beginning of Dr. Frank Smoot's article Overcoming Your Barriers To Weight Loss Success:

"If there's one thing ALL of us truly need to understand, it is this:

The only reason we aren't already where we want to be in life is that we can't see the barriers that are keeping us from getting there.

We humans are smart critters. If we can clearly see what needs to be done, we can do it. And we are remarkably good at getting rid of the barriers we can actually see. Unfortunately, it's the barriers we can't see that are--right now--keeping us from getting where we want to go.

Two more crucial things to understand: All of our barriers are learned, and none are "valid." They are only as real as we, ourselves make them.

But unfortunately, we have learned to make them real, and so we unwittingly give them the power to stop us in out tracks by our own inability to spot them and challenge them. And as long as these barriers remain unseen and unidentified, they will hold us back forever--creating in a life filled with frustration and unfulfilled dreams instead of the successes we truly deserve."

Dr. Smoot goes on to say "If These Barriers Were Not Blocking Our Progress,
We Could Fly Like Eagles To The Destination Of Our Dreams!"

He rightly states that most of us choose to live in denial land rather than to work on overcoming these barriers. He then discusses identifying our personal barriers to weight loss success so that we may work to overcome them.
