Note From the Editor and Fitness Author Laurie Bell
Welcome to another issue of the Body Shaping and Fitness Secrets newsletter!
Dear Reader,
When it comes to weight loss, you’ve probably tried hundreds of times and failed, just like everyone else. The prime reason is, you always expected to fail, subconsciously.
In life, you really do get what you expect to get. When I was pregnant with both of my daughters, women sternly warned me, “You’ll never look the same after having kids.”
This negative prediction annoyed me. In fact, those negative women were so adamant about trying to convince me I’d never lose weight after kids, that I knew they were wrong.
I resolved to not just lose weight, but to tone, firm, and sculpt my body beautifully. I resolved that I would get in better shape after kids than I was before.
My book, Lose the Lies Lose the Weight (www.losethelieslosetheweight.com) strikes down all those lies you’ve been brainwashed to believe. You must eliminate the weight loss lies so you will experience the same weight loss success that I have achieved.
You must tune out the negative people who want you to fail. If someone says you can’t do something, it really means they don’t want you to succeed because they’ll feel bad.
People feel uncomfortable when you strive for and achieve success while they sit back and accomplish nothing. You can get fit. It doesn’t matter if you’ve had kids, been overweight your entire life, or failed repeatedly. Simply turn on your determination and tune out negative people.
Yours in good health,
Laurie Bell

Get Prepared for Success: Extreme Self-Discipline Made Easy
How many times have you decided that another diet didn’t work? Was it the diet that didn’t work or your self-discipline that failed? Just about any diet will eliminate those unwanted pounds, when you learn to use your self-discipline.
Everyone has self-discipline to one degree or another. If you aren’t fit, you simply need to learn to use your self-discipline.
Prior to joining a health club in 1987, I was very undisciplined in every area of my life. For example, in the middle of a freezing North Dakota winter, I received a utility company notice that my power would be shut off immediately since I didn’t pay my bill.
Of course I hadn’t paid my bill, I couldn’t find it. Because I didn’t want to freeze, I quickly paid the bill. I realized being undisciplined and procrastinating was not a good lifestyle.
Because of my lack of self-discipline, I took 5 years to get my 4-year degree. I just did not bother to exert myself. Developing self-discipline requires energy. Energy comes from exercising. Once I began exercising in March 1987, my energy level steadily increased. I began to realize that I was in control of my life.
Self-discipline is like a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it gets. Conversely, the less you use your self-discipline, the weaker it gets.
The first step to developing self-discipline is simply understanding this: you CAN develop extreme self-discipline! Get the notion out of your head that you don’t have self-discipline.
The second step to developing self-discipline is to set up your environment for success. Toss all your trigger foods. How do you expect to be successful at weight loss when you’re constantly tempted by those tasty, crunchy foods in your pantry? It is much easier to say no once at the grocery store than have to say no hundreds of times daily to those same snacks.
Replace all fat-promoting foods with fit-promoting quality foods. In Lose the Lies Lose the Weight, http://www.losethelieslosetheweight.com, I provide extensive lists of fat-promoting versus fit-promoting foods which will teach you exactly how to eat for weight loss success.
Finally, join a health club. Gaining control of your discipline requires energy. Energy comes from regular physical activity, not channel or Internet surfing. Exercise eliminated my procrastination and lack of self-discipline.
After I began exercising in March 1987, everything in my life changed. I no longer had to take several naps every day. I began to get things done. I quickly completed my college degree. I wrote Step by Step Phonics Makes Reading and Spelling Easy, competed in natural bodybuilding competitions (and won), ran 5 K’s, got back in shape after two kids, started a business, wrote Lose the Lies Lose the Weight, and had the energy to accomplish every goal I set.
Do you realize, my friend, the amount of energy and talents that you haven’t tapped into because you haven’t utilized your self-discipline? What you can accomplish will amaze you once you simply use your self-discipline.
What are you waiting for? You have things to do. Accept that you can and well develop self-discipline. Second, eliminate all those fat-promoting foods. Read Lose the Lies Lose the Weight, http://www.losethelieslosetheweight.com if you need more motivation. Finally, join a health club. Today. Not tomorrow. Once you make these action steps, you will begin to create the life and fitness results that you desire. Take control of your life today.
Fitness Lifestyle Living
Diets vs. Fitness Lifestyle
Many overweight people think they just need to find the right diet and they will lose weight. Long-term, diets won’t keep the weight off. What is needed is a change in your lifestyle which encompasses balanced good nutrition and exercise in your life. Rather than following a diet, think in terms of the following areas:
Success Quotes
“It is no use saying, ‘’We are doing our best.’ You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.” —Winston Churchill
“The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it—as long as you believe 100 percent.”—Arnold Schwarzenegger
“You won’t look the same after having kids. With determination, you can look much better.” —Laurie Bell
