The Olympics is a great reminder that it takes a winning attitude to see your dreams fulfilled. To be truly successful at anything, you must first believe that you can and that is a winning attitude. Of course, practice and ability must be present, but these attributes lose their power if deep inside, you don’t think you can succeed.

If you want to lose weight, if you want to change your body’s shape, if you want to get toned and fit, you must start out believing that you can. No matter how many times you have tried, no matter how many times you have succeeded only to plateau or backslide, you must believe that this time you will be successful. That’s the kind of attitude it takes to be successful and I believe that you can do it.

Belief is such a powerful tool. It is the fire that propels a winning attitude. Believe that you can succeed, convince yourself that losing is not an option. Believe that winning is something that will follow you throughout life. No matter what challenges you are faced with, no matter how many things get you down, you were born to be exceptional and you have that winning attitude.

Harness that spirit when you make the decision to change your diet. Eat foods that sustain you, foods that enhance your beauty and foods that satisfy your appetite. Gradually make the necessary changes you need to design the body you desire. It takes a winning attitude to change your diet.

The young athletes at the Olympics are so inspiring; I love watching them. They train so hard for so long, and they are totally committed to winning. It makes me want to train harder, try new sports or new workouts and really challenge my body to go to the next level.

Losing weight and getting in shape are very important. Equally important is your happiness. Remember, you are more than just a number on a scale. You are a beautiful woman with a heart full of love. Don’t keep that love hidden away; be sure to share it with your lover, your family, friends and acquaintances. A winning attitude encompasses every part of your life. Seize that attitude and expose the winner in you.
