The Boss

Often, when people have lost the strength of their initial drive to lose weight, excuses come up. Excuses have their language and tone, all of which are designed to undermine the discipline we have made that, in turn, undermines a commitment. The long-term effect is that we lose trust in ourselves to honor a commitment, which undermines our confidence to do anything. But Lexi was not having any of that, and she regarded her gym membership as one of the essential possessions she had. And her motivation? Her “boss” was waiting at the gym for an appointment, and she did not want to get fired.
