Some folks appear to have it all – and everything they do seems to fall easily into place. Whereas there are also those who live at the other end of the spectrum, and make a mess of everything they do. So we have the victorious and the victimised – and they can generally be differentiated by their attitudes.
To realise your target weight on a diet program, you must assume the attitude of a victor. A piece-meal attempt at dieting without the belief is why the ‘victim’ will never win. And yet for a victor it’s all in the bag from the beginning.
Let’s envision we’re on court for a tennis finale. We listen to the players before the start – One player says the outcome is now in the lap of the gods, whereas his opponent states “I am destined to be the champion!” Guess who’ll win the tournament?
‘Oar’ can be used to describe a victor who paddles his way to the winning post. O is for ownership, A is for accountability and R is for responsibility. We can define the victim by the word BED (Blame, Excuses and Denial) – a person who stays in bed and gives up.
Taking ownership of an assignment is the hallmark of a victor. A victor likes to be accountable for everything he does – a problem solver not a problem maker. He doesn’t take excuses from himself and is responsible for the outcome of his activities.
On the other hand the victim will always have an explanation for his lack of achievement. It’s always someone else’s fault – he feels out of control so justifies it by blaming someone else. So he can always find an excuse for his lack of accomplishment. The victim is in complete denial after a while, assured that he has no option but to put up with this situation.
A mental overhaul is no bad thing for anyone looking to address weight management issues. To really embrace the health-enhancing program, any traces of the victim syndrome have to be wiped out.
Continual positive repetition will change a victim’s attitude to that of a victor. Take note of what you’re saying to yourself. If your internal voice sounds like a victim – cut it short immediately and change the tone. It’s not true that it’s much easier for some than others. Those who’ve achieved have just worked on their attitude.
People aren’t born with winning attitudes; they work on them throughout their lives. In order to maintain successful weight management, we first have to maintain a successful attitude.
