Don’t Stop Believing

Since Chris Powell and David Smith appeared on ABC’s 20/20 a couple weeks ago talking about their personal struggles and helping morbidly obese people improve their lives, Reshape the Nation has had an expected outpouring of support. Lots of people were motivated by David’s story, and his weight loss success inspired others trying to achieve the same thing.

But now it’s over.

Well… it’s not technically over. Some people were truly inspired into action and are starting to change their lives. Then there’s everyone else—the vast majority of the people who saw Chris and David on 20/20, got inspired, then got distracted. Or they got discouraged. Or they never got started in the first place. At Reshape, we understand these struggles. It’s the biggest challenge we face. Getting people motivated is easy, but keeping people motivated is hard.

So today’s message… Don’t Stop Believing.

No… not the Journey song. Though if you need to sing a few bars to yourself right now, feel free to:

“Don’t stop… believing… hold onto that feeling!”

But once you’re done singing, remember the message. Successful weight loss—any successful transformation, really—requires a belief in the reason your losing weight and a belief in your ability to succeed. Yes, you can do it. David and Chris gave you the motivation, but now you have to keep believing. Believe in yourself and you will be successful!
