Getting Past What Holds You Back with Baby Boomer Weight Loss Expert Scott 'Q' Marcus
Most (not all) of the people we know are relatively forgiving – if we give them a chance. They see our flaws and love us anyway – unless we try to deny what we don’t do well.
Admit your shortcomings, ask for help, work to get better.
One of the vendors of TTIMI is a company called Lifetick. They design the coaching software that I use with the people who sign up for this service. I was scoping out their blog today and they have a post from October, 2008 about “What Do You Value?” Since everyone who uses their service enters in what’s most important to them (referred to as “core values”), they’ve been keeping track of the Top 10.
I don’t think there are any major surprises, but it’s interesting to check out. The chart below shows the top choices. There are some pretty cool surprises if you read the article.
Top Core Values According to Lifetick

At the very first session I had with my therapist oh so many years ago, the opening question out of my mouth was, “How long will this take?”
Being ever the smart aleck, he replied, “About 50 minutes.”
“No,” I responded. “How long will it take until I am fixed; you know, healed; normal?”
I am not alone when it comes to asking that question. One of the first items we want checked off our “to do list of change” is a date specific that we can mark on our calendar alerting us to the face that – voila – goal achieved! Like a prisoner sentenced to hard labor, we want to know how long until we are free.
From a logical point of view, the process of getting from “here” to “there” is actually pretty exhilarating. We find out about ourselves. We discover what we’re capable of doing. Others compliment and admire us. Life is new; every sunrise provides the option for multiple new adventures, unwrapping more of whom we really are. It would seem that with so much to gain, we would rather linger luxuriously in the progression instead of charge hell-bent for leather to the other side.
