教你用“想象未來”的方式減肥

See the Future and Lose Weight

People that succeed at losing weight and keeping it off are not special. They don't have some superpower that allows them to lose weight while you can't. What they have is a vision of the future. The people that succeed can see that being overweight does not result in a healthy future.

你是不是很羨慕那些成功減肥的人？其實他們并不特殊，也沒有超凡的能力。和你一樣，他們很平凡，只是他們有著對未來的展望，他們意識到超重會影響到身體健康。

If you have a car, and you don't change the oil and never get a tune-up, do you think it would last 20 years? The answer is obvious, probably not. However, many people don't see that it is the same thing with their body. If you abuse your car it won't last long before it is trashed. If you over eat and become overweight, you are abusing your body, and therefore, it probably won't take too many years before health problems start showing up.

如果你從不給你的愛車換油和調整，它會為你工作20年嗎? 答案很明顯，不會。這和我們的身體一樣。如果你不細心呵護你的愛車，它的壽命會很短。同樣，如果你吃的過多而導致肥胖，這說明你正在虐待自己的身體，可能過不了多久身體就開始出現(xiàn)健康問題。

However, many overweight people don't see that future for themselves. They ignore it, they deny it, they excuse it off, but what they need to do is to see the vision of their future. They need to see themselves 5, 10, 20 years down the line. Where is their current weight going to take them? A vision of the future can be a powerful motivator. If what you see scares you (and it should if you are overweight), then it is time to do something about it, change your future and change your life.

然而，很多超重的人對這些不予理睬甚至否認?？墒沁@些健康問題確實值得引起他們的關注了。他們需要展望自己5年、10年或20年后的樣子了。對未來的展望可以成為減肥的強大動力。如果你看到景象令你很恐懼(如果你超重)，那么是時候改變你現(xiàn)在的生活方式了，從而改變你的未來。

Whatever your struggles are with losing weight, you need to realize that it is not about the weight. It is all about how you deal with the weight. I know that most of you have good reasons why you can't lose weight. However, the greatest thing that you can be is an example to your family.

無論你用什么方式與肥胖作斗爭，你應該意識到這不是關乎體重的問題，而是關乎你如何解決重量問題。你們中的大多數(shù)有很好的理由來解釋為何不減肥。然而，最重要的是你應該給你的家人起帶頭作用。

Now, it is not always going to be convenient. It is not always going to be comfortable. However, remember, you need to want what it will do for you, more than the discomfort and inconvenience, and you need a vision of your future. So, see the future, see the thin and healthier you, and let's make your future a healthier one.

減肥是一件很痛苦的事，但是它可以帶給你健康。想想，不久的將來你會變得既苗條又健康，何樂而不為呢？！還等什么，為了你的未來，趕緊動起來吧！
