In many ways the challenge of sticking to debt review and seeing it<br />

through is similar to that of starting a new diet or exercise routine.<br />

At first, it is all fun and new but over time, as it becomes routine, you<br />

need real commitment to see things through.<br />

Starting a new Diet<br />

All your research<br />

tells you this is the<br />

right diet for you.<br />

You picture yourself<br />

shedding those extra<br />

Kgs.<br />

What at first was fun<br />

is now becoming<br />

routine and boring.<br />

All the people around<br />

you are eating<br />

delicious naughty<br />

stuff making it hard<br />

for you to stick to<br />

your diet. Those kgs<br />

are stubbornly still<br />

hanging around.<br />

Joining a Gym<br />

They offer you a<br />

month for free and<br />

a personal trainer<br />

shows you the<br />

exercises that will help<br />

you get in shape.<br />

After the initial<br />

excitement you<br />

struggle to get to gym<br />

regularly. Work and<br />

social commitments<br />

start to get in the way.<br />

You see little progress<br />

and get disheartened.<br />

It has been a few<br />

weeks. Why don’t you<br />

look ripped yet?<br />

Entering Debt Review<br />

The benefits are<br />

many. No more<br />

collection calls,<br />

reduced monthly debt<br />

repayments. What’s<br />

not to like?<br />

After the initial<br />

honeymoon period<br />

all you do is pay and<br />

pay. You seem to<br />

make little progress.<br />

Unexpected bills<br />

come along placing<br />

pressure on your<br />

reduced monthly<br />

budget. You feel like<br />

you are not making<br />

any progress.
