I find that my biggest excuse for not loosing weight is the time that it takes to loose the weight. Sadly it just doesn't happen over night and sometimes it feels like you are working so hard and the pay off is sooooo slow, when you can gain 10 lbs in a week, but it takes 6 weeks to loose it. It's a bit unfair. But I look back at the time that has passed and how many times I said I was gonna loose the weight and how many times I gave up because I just didn't want to stick to it.
Someone once told me, weight loss is not a sprint it's a marathon, you have to keep going. So every day I remind myself, the time will pass anyway, it did pass, don't let today pass without making a change, without putting in the effort.
It remind me of my other favorite Pinterest quote, "a year from now you will wish you started today."
Start today
Weight loss is like a marathon but like a marathon it's more than keeping the pace. You have to prepare, create habits, as well as change some old ones. If your looking for a good read check out the compound effect by I can't remember and/or the power of habit by Charles Duhigg.
ReplyDeleteBoth are great books that touch on this subject.
