Weight Loss Lessons from The Red Sox?

The Boston Red Sox can teach you plenty about weight loss. Yes, Red Sox fans, you are 0-6 to start the 2011 season with the hated Yankees and Derek "Jetah" coming to Fenway this weekend.


Nine out of ten experts picked the Red Sox to go to the World Series this year. It might happen since there are still 156 games to go. Or, it might not happen if you know anything about the "heartbreaking" Red Sox history. And, this history is where you can learn some weight loss lessons.

1. The Sox and their fans have had to bounce back from huge disappointments. Let's see....remember.....

--Bucky "bleeping" Dent's winning homer over the "Green Monster" in game 163 to give the Yankees the 1978 division championship,

--Bill Buckner's World Series blooper in 1986 that eventually led to the Mets' series victory and

--Aaron "bleeping" Boone's winning homer (pictured above) in game 7 of the 2003 American League Championship Series (ALCS) that gave the Yankees the win and series.

You will transform your body to lean and toned after tons of hard work, disappointments, setbacks and trial and error. If you can't keep "getting up and trying again and again and again and again," you will never reach your goals.

2. The Sox waited 80-plus years to finally win another World Series title in 2004. Fenway Park has been sold out every game no matter what because they never give up.

You can't put a time limit on your health, fitness and body transformation. Do what it takes for however long it takes. If you keep running into a brick wall, get some guidance from a personal trainer.

3. Win against seemingly impossible odds. The Sox finally won the World Series after coming back from a 3-0 game deficit to win 4 straight games against the Yankees in the 2004 ALCS. Nobody thought they could do it---except themselves.

Do you have seemingly impossible barriers holding you back from fat loss and weight loss success? Do you believe you can do it? Its never impossible, you just may need some help from health professionals to help set your path.

4. The fans of the Sox are a close-knit bunch. They have been through alot together over the years. Grandchildren are tied to the Sox' dreams of grandparents. Red Sox Nation is real and don't mess with those "chowderheads."

You need help to reach your fat loss and weight loss goals. That could be a trainer, workout buddy, spouse or friend. Don't try to do it alone. Research proves that you are more likely to succeed when you have social support.

Work hard and never quit until you reach your goals.
