How Badly Do You Want Your Health? Part I

Change isn't always easy.  In fact, the most gratifying changes are usually pretty challenging.  Your old life will creep up on you and show the best side of it's ugly face to try and coax you back to your old ways.  It can really be discouraging when that happens.  Why is it that healthy changes slip through the fingers of some, but sticks with others?  

Let's use the gym as an example.  Some people will join a gym, start out strong, but in a few months they leave; but why?  Why do some leave and others stay?  I heard some say that it's a problem with discipline.  But is that really it?  No, I don't believe so.

The truth is, the people who drop out don't have fuel to drive them.  They have no true desire to go to the gym.  They started because their loved ones asked them to, or because the gym had a special that sounded good or because they need to lose the "holiday weight" or something.  What they need is a stronger reason to make the changes that they want to make.
