Now I want to talk about some things that might make you feel like you’re taking control and responsibility but it is a very ineffective way to do it.  What many people do is they recognize that they need to take responsibility which is the needed first step. For some people that means, going out to buy a gym membership, ordering some in-home fitness equipment, hiring a personal trainer to work with them or maybe signing up for a club like Weight Watchers. For many people this is a good first step and is required, except what you’ve done is gone out and bought the tool first.
