How to Have the Mindset to Lose Weight if You Were Overweight Since Childhood

It is always very difficult to lose weight, but is even more so if you were overweight since childhood. Having myself overcome 35 years of being overweight since age 2, I write this article based on personal, firsthand experience. After decades of struggling, I not only managed to reach my goal weight, but I'm now involved in an intensive bodybuilding program, and am working towards becoming a certified personal trainer and weight loss coach.
In this article I discuss the steps to being in the proper mindset to lose weight if you were overweight since childhood. The Resource section links to articles of mine in which I discuss the logistics of losing weight, but once you're in the proper mindset, it will no longer be a matter of dieting or counting calories. Everything will fall into place on its own.
