<\/span> <\/strong>I have in the past written about the difference between being assertive and aggressive \u2013 and advocated for the assertive side of life \u2013 stating that there\u2019s no need to bring the police into the picture!!!!\u00a0 (Referencing an incident I had \u2013or created, depending on your point of view \u2013 in an Italian restaurant in Little Italy, at which time I specifically said at a minimum of three times, \u201cNO BUTTER!\u201d\u00a0 Nevertheless, when served, my food was swimming in butter! It got ugly!).
\n<\/em>
\nHowever, I was WRONG. True enough, although it is the first time that I’m wrong!\u00a0 But I\u2019m woman enough to admit it. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There is nothing wrong with being AGGRESSIVE.\u00a0 In fact, it is the RIGHT PATH!!!\u00a0 It is the WAY of the WEIGHT LOSS WARRIOR!!!!
\n
\nAGGRESSIVE ENERGY<\/strong>
\nAggressive energy is an essential part of being human.\u00a0 Aggressive energy will always be with you.\u00a0 It is an integral and meaningful part of you and it is up to you whether or not you use it for good or ill or even worse, deny it altogether.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When you deny aggression, you are abdicating tapping into this natural and vital well of energy and power.\u00a0 It is your natural resource that can make all the difference.<\/p>\n

The aggressive energy that rumbles through you is simply the Warrior within that is thirsting to accept responsibility, wanting to come out and lead YOU to victory!<\/p>\n

You have, in our time together, made the decision to permanently remove your excess weight; you have looked into your future; filled up on confidence; spoken words that energize and motivate; fed the soul and the body and now \u2026
\n
\nIt is TIME!!! To let YOUR WARRIOR OUT!!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

YOUR WARRIOR<\/strong> \u2026 gets things done!
\n\u2026 gives you a sense of yourself as Champion of Your Vision.
\n\u2026 slays the dragons of fear and doubt.
\n\u2026 is inspired and optimistic.
\nAnd when your warrior runs into obstacles your warrior recognizes them as tests and does not abandon her Quest \u2026
\n\u2026 YOUR WARRIOR \u2026 battles on.<\/p>\n

Your warrior \u2026 perseveres in the face of difficulties, in the face of temptation.<\/p>\n

Good Intentions Are NOT ENOUGH.<\/strong> Sacrifice is necessary.<\/p>\n

How you and your warrior bond together now will determine the outcome of your story. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Will you live your best life, or will you remain in bondage to food, emotional eating, and the circumstances that life throws in your path?<\/p>\n

Your Warrior actually enjoys discipline, planning, and boundaries.\u00a0 Your Warrior does not stamp its feet and act like a 4 year-old; your warrior sees the above as opportunity to live life to the fullest.<\/p>\n

Be a Warrior.\u00a0 Be a Weight Loss Warrior.<\/p>\n

Spread the word \u2026 NOT the icing,<\/p>\n
