Today is July 4th 2009. Independence Day. The day the Founding Fathers of our country banded together to sign the Declaration of Independence which put our nation on the map.

Independence (as defined by Dictionary.com)

1.
The state or quality of being independent; freedom from dependence;
exemption from reliance on, or control by, others; self-subsistence or
maintenance; direction of one’s own affairs without interference.

What does “Independence” mean to you?

Avoiding a job you dislike?
Hiring yard work done for you?
Making it to your kid’s events (games, dance, recitals)?
Coaching your kids?
Taking trips wherever and whenever you want?
Spending every weekend on the lake, at the cabin, on the ocean, anything?
Hiring a cleaning lady?
Waking up to no alarm?
and I am sure there are 11,763+ and more meanings.

Today, I am going to talk about “independence” of the body you face in the mirror every morning.

Do you like what you see every morning?
Do you wish you looked different?
Do you currently fit in your favorite pair of jeans?
Do you have unlimited energy?
Are you lying to yourself that you can do it on your own?

When you wait, you lose.

Today July 4th 2009. You have a choice. You choose. Will this be your “Declaration of Independence” from the all of the stupidity permeating the fitness and fat loss industry?

Here’s your answer…
