There was a time when I struggled endlessly with food and my body. In fact when I started The Fit Shack almost 3 years ago in March, 2007, I was struggling then!
I was making food the problem and would get quite anxious if I did not eat “perfectly” at all times.
Today it is getting harder to remember what it was like to struggle and while I’m in the process now of creating my ideal body, my very own fit, healthy, sexy body, I’m totally enjoying the process and I’m having fun today…while I’m getting healthy weight loss results.
Yes, that’s right – there is no waiting until I get to my goal weight to then feel good, I’m having fun and feeling good right now.
I look great, I feel great, I love my clothes I’m wearing, I’m having fun, and it’s all good. AND, I have approximately 17 more pounds to drop! (approximately as I may change that number, higher or lower when I am closer to where I wish to be. It’s not about the number, it’s about my health, strength, muscle tone, etc.)
Today I am at the lowest weight I have been since I began The Fit Shack almost 3 years ago.
How am I doing this? Simple! I am taking action with the same tools and processes I teach my clients in order to become a match on the inside to the fit, healthy, sexy body they wish to create for themselves on the outside!
When you do the inner work to become that person on the inside who would live in a fit, healthy, sexy body on the outside, then the physical actions to create that body become easy and effortless.
Weight loss becomes effortless.
Eating the foods that you believe will give you the body of your dreams becomes effortless.
Doing the physical exercise that will create the fit, healthy, sexy body of your dreams becomes effortless.
The entire process to get fit, healthy, and sexy becomes effortless once you solve the real issue…which is NOT the food or your fat.
Nope, when you continue to attack the symptom with yet another diet or exercise program (or worse yet, some silly diet gimmick) and do not become an inner match to the body of your dreams, then you are only attempting to put a bandaid on the real issue and you keep yourself on The Treadmill-o-Struggle. Not fun!
The Treadmill-o-Struggle (a.k.a. NOT Effortless Weight Loss!)
The Treadmill-o-Struggle is a companion to living in Stuckville and Tomorrowland, those places where you keep doing the same things over and over again that have never given you fun, effortless, lasting results.
Humans have a funny way of thinking that if something isn’t working that they should keep doing the same thing but do it harder, and that’s a great way to keep yourself on The Treadmill-o-Struggle.
If something isn’t working and all you’re getting is struggle then it’s time to do something else (!) and it makes sense to do “a something else” that is proven to get you the result you really want.
However, if you’re addicted to the struggle then you’ll keep doing the same thing you’ve been doing. I am much happier after letting the struggle go, and while it does take learning how to do that, it can definitely be learned.
Effortless Weight Loss – What it Feels Like
Here’s what effortless weight loss feels like. Well, a few of the ways that effortless weight loss feels. There is more but these right here are a good start…if you want effortless weight loss and wonder what it would feel like.
- No more obsession about food, worrying about what to eat, what not to eat, that you ate too much, too little, that this or that food is going to make you fat. No more of that endless obsession.
- A natural attraction to the foods that you believe will allow your body to effortlessly drop the fat.
- No more self-sabotage.
- You enjoy the journey – it’s fun to create the body of your dreams!
- Vacations no longer trigger a “free for all” and a 10 pound weight gain.
- No more food restrictions, calorie counting, falls into same category of food obsession.
- You appreciate your body NOW even while you still have 10, 50, or 100 (or more) pounds of fat on it that you desire to release.
- Going out to dinner or on a vacation becomes Fun instead of an anxiety and worry about weight gain.
- No more doubts about your ability to get fit, healthy, and sexy, and STAY there!
These are only a portion of the fabulous, exciting results of true, effortless weight loss.
It’s fun, it’s exciting, and it feels really good. In fact, it becomes so easy that I must now work at remembering what the struggle felt like.
It becomes so natural and it has become so natural for me that I’ve had to change my perspective on what I write about. For so many years I wrote about the struggle and how I was forcing myself to change, which of course, never works.
Forcing yourself to change is like trying to hold back a tidal wave. It’s so easy to take physical action to create the body of your dreams though, when you become on the inside the person who would live in a fit, healthy, sexy body on the outside. Then weight loss becomes effortless.
It’s so “funny” because I used to teach my clients how to do this and I wasn’t taking action with the same tools I gave them to succeed. Today I am because I stepped up and allowed myself to use those same tools and get out of my own way.
Loose Jeans and Effortless Weight Loss – This Rocks!
Effortless weight loss Rocks and who knows, maybe I’ll end up holding an auction or something for my super cute jeans that are getting really loose on me. I am already wearing size 8 dresses and my jeans are a 12.
I can wear my size 10 summer crop pants, which I could not wear last summer, and size 10 jeans are right around the corner. I already have a pair and it’s time to put them on again and see if they fit.
But that’s not the best part. The best part is that I’m no longer forcing myself to do anything!!
Chocolate and Effortlesss Weight Loss…
Oh yes, and I’ve been eating chocolate…without guilt, obsession, or self-criticizm. Can you imagine what it would be like to eat what you want and have absolutely no worry or anxiety about it, and still lose weight? (and KEEP it off!)
I had some chocolate cake on Saturday night out on a Valentine’s date and some cookies last night. And I noticed that I didn’t eat much of the cake and I didn’t want the whole container of cookies like I would have in the past, in fact I could take them or leave them. I prefer to mainly eat whole foods…because I like them! No force involved.
So this is what it feels like to be living the dream – effortless weight loss. Effortless weight loss feels great because the actions you take to get fit, healthy, and sexy are…well, they’re effortless!
It feels fun, enjoyable, and struggle-free.
It feels great Now. It feels Fabulous to have a core of rock-solid belief in your belly that not only will you “get” the body of your dreams, but you will keep it. No doubt about it.
What Does All of This Mean for YOU?
Very simple – you now have an idea of what it would feel like if you were living the dream of effortless weight loss.
You realize that if I and my clients can do this, then so can you! If one human being can learn to do something then anyone else can… if you allow yourself to learn how (and especially if I can do this…someone who was so stuck in struggle and is now taking effortless action.)

I feel like I’ve been trying to lose weight since I was 8, and I’m naturally thin…so I don’t understand why I stress so much. I think at this point in my life, it’s better to just live well. I’m trying to exercise and eat better and I’m looking for good advice. I’ve ordered a book called “Looking Good Naked: Natural Weight Loss in 6 Easy Steps”. I hope that it helps me embrace a healthy lifestyle.
