We’re all familiar with some individuals who appear to find life very easy, and enjoy one victory after another. Whereas there are also those who live at the other end of the spectrum, and make a mess of everything they do. Victors and victims make up the world, and attitude is very often the one key factor that makes the difference.

When trying to lose weight, it’s essential to learn the habits of the victor to achieve a successful outcome. The victims attempt diets in a hesitant manner, hoping for good things, but never really believing they’re worthy of getting the figure they want. A ‘victor’ will be one hundred percent committed to the goal mentally. They’ll get emotionally involved with the outcome.

Visualise the finale of a tennis championship, where the player’s attitudes are as follows: One says “It’s my last chance – I’ll give it my best shot,” but the other says “Winning is my destiny.” Who do you think is taking the cup home with him?

If we split up the word OAR we have the definition of a victor – someone who takes Ownership of his or her task, is Accountable for their actions and assumes Responsibility for getting it done. The victim can be defined by the term BED – one who stays in bed and gives up. BED = Blame, Excuses and Denial.

The victor doesn’t expect someone else to lead the way – and takes ownership of his or her tasks. He takes account of his actions by taking them seriously. He sees things through by tackling problems instead of creating them. Ultimately, he is very responsible.

However, as far as the victim is concerned, it’s never his fault when he doesn’t achieve. He can always find fault with another person – as if that person was in control, not him. He always makes excuse for his lack of performance, but the only person he’s persuading is himself. After repeating this cycle of excuses and blame for a while, the victim is in denial. He’s absolutely convinced that there isn’t anything he can do to change things.

A person about to start a new slimming program should stack the odds of success in their favour by giving themselves a mental check-over. Anyone who’s a fully paid up member of the victim society will have to address their issues before they start, to truly embrace the concept of losing weight.

Continual positive repetition will change a victim’s attitude to that of a victor. Listen to the voice inside your head – if it sounds like a victim, then stop it and verbalise why you can succeed. Nobody else is superior to you – some have just conquered their victimisation thinking and achieved their success.

“There is no such thing as a hero, only those who rise to the occasion”. Those were the words of Winston Churchill, and they’re just as valid today. To achieve the weight and health we want, we must adopt the right frame of mind. Then we become capable of anything!
