Even when people ask you for the information they may not be prepared to accept the reality. I know a few years ago I would not have listened to anyone, no matter how fit or encouraging they were. I wasnt ready to put in the time, research and effort necessary to overhaul my body and my life. So try to keep a positive attitude even when people do look disappointed when they hear how much work it is. Maybe someday they'll remember you and be inspired. Maybe right now they just are not in the right place in their own development to receive your wisdom. Many of us have to fall down a lot before we get our balance, find what works, and what doesnt, I know I did. Keep up the good work. Keep being truthful when people ask. Eventually you will be asked by someone who is in the right place in their life and is ready for your knowledge and when that happens there can be an instant connection forged. Best of luck to you. -tilt Well put. Even when people ask you for the information they may not be prepared to accept the reality.

Excellent. Unfortunately you are righ Nicole. We do live in a society where people want it, want it now and if there is any work involved they simply say screw it. Sad to say that because we live in a fast food society, people want everything NOW! The days that our grandparents grew up in with lots of blood, sweat, tears and very hard work are gone. My mom used to prepare dinner every night. It took her at least a majority of the afternoon to get it done since everything was from scratch. Nowadays....people are so impatient that they tap their fingers on the microwave because the 3 minute popcorn takes too long. Funny thing is.......people will pay huge sums of money to get things now but the minute they have to put the work in themselves......they're gone. They find something else in which to get instant gratification. That is one of the most well written pieces I’ve seen on Bodyspace. Excellent. Unfortunately you are righ Nicole.

As for the time you have to take to make a difference not only at the gym, but everything from buying your food, research, meal preparation, having more meals a day, it is time consuming, but it is possible if you really want it, and then it is just part of your daily routine.

Most people are very resisitant to change and even more resistant to HARD work. And it takes both to be successful in changing and maintaining your body... But for those who are willing to sacrifice, its hard to understand why others arent.. Nice post Nic.. It is sad, but you are very right.

I am helping someone, or trying to, but i'm not sure if she will be able to commit to the hard work and dedication - she finds there's alot of cooking involved and not sure if she has the time.. I say, if you want it bad enough anyone can make the time. People think there’s still a magic pill out there that will get them in the best shape ever..
