Think Positive!




When I began to exercise after my pregnancy, I always saw the trouble. A very smart man told me that to transform my body I must see only the good. “You must always be positive, because your body can only do what your brain sees.”

Here are some transformative thoughts to have - Remember you’re always choosing either one. Choose wisely!


Instead of trouble I began to see opportunity
Instead the negative, see positive
Instead of bad, see the good
Instead of can’t, say can
Instead of hope, say I will
Instead of self-doubt, feel self-confident
Instead of second-guessing myself, I trust myself.
Instead of dwelling on my mistakes, I accept them and move ahead.
Instead of kicking myself for my last shot, I think about my next shot
Instead of worrying about what could go wrong, I focus on what I do right
Instead of being self-critical, I give myself the benefit of the doubt.
Instead of pondering my weaknesses, I assert my strengths.
Instead of thinking of what my body is not, I think of what my body can do.


The resolution is to see the opportunity instead of trouble. 
Confidence is everything.  From there, it’s a small step to winning.

Train the mind the body will follow

A lot of us are knowledgeable and are very aware of things that we should and could be doing, yet we fail to do it. In other words my actions does not match up with what I believe.    The more I thought about, the more I came to the realization that the reason I failed to practice certain things was because I tend to care about people’s perception of me. I allowed and continue to allow people’s thoughts and concern to affect my life.  I used to overextend myself in doing anything asked of me in order to honor the feelings of others. I lived in this manner because I did not want to be perceived as someone who was selfish and not nice.     Losing weight is not complicated. It is us as humans that choose to make everything we do difficult. One of the main reason we find it to be difficult is because we tend to approach weight loss with instant gratification.    Having worked one on one with many clients and talking to hundreds of people througho...

Night eating

  Ever had one of those nights when that voice whisper and says, “just a bite? You were good all day and ate healthy but for some reason your taste bud calls for something you know you should not be eating. You go to the kitchen, open the refrigerator door, and look at all the food you have. Decisions, decisions.  Which snack will it be?   I have had clients tell me that they have been surrounded by delicious food all day long and were able to dodge the temptations, but for some reason they are unable to keep their diets at night. Their diet is routinely sabotaged at night. The thoughts usually fall under the lines of “I have been good all day”. I rode my bike for 3 miles. I walked, weight trained and did various exercise and because of this, I deserve a reward for my good behavior. This thinking, leads us to consume a full day’s calories every night.    The truth is they are deserving of a treat, but treating themselves badly. Treats should be consumed spa...

Kevin Sherman feeling better in his late forties than he did in his early twenties

Kevin had a lifelong struggle with yo-yo dieting.  He tried various programs focused on diet, he was an avid runner, and he was determined.  Like many of us, he was taught that you need to eat less and do more.  He would count calories, run on a treadmill or elliptical, and do all those things that we all learned over the years.  His determination meant that he was able to keep going even when he started feeling tired and hungry, but that only went so far.  In time, old habits would creep back in.  He would get discouraged, and finally stop altogether.  He would work hard to lose weight only to regain it even faster than before.  He realized something had to change. He called FABZFIT for an interactive evidence based approach. After a couple of sessions, his new direction became clear.  Kevin’s caloric intake was too low and did not have a good balance of carb, protein, and fat that he needed.  This created a situatio...
