Have you ever felt frustrated because you are trying to lose weight but when you step on the scale it has not budged? This can be very disheartening. Many people at that point make a crucial decision: they have to choose between continuing on or just giving up.
Lots of people go ahead and give up. After all, if they are working that hard with no results, what is the point? But this is sad, because often they are just days away from a breakthrough and they will move off that plateau and continue seeing progress. But also, the number on the scale does not tell the whole story-you will eventually lose weight, but maybe not at the pace that you want.
Sometimes we need a little extra motivation to stay on track. Joining a weight loss competition is a great way to do this. But if you do not like competitions, you can use an online fitness tracker. Be sure to pay attention to your food intake as well. If you are trying to speed your weight loss by severely restricting calories, you may be working against yourself and keeping your body from dropping pounds.
If you are dropping inches and your clothes are fitting differently- let's use that as a measurable scale. Most importantly how do you FEEL? Often, even if the weight isn't coming off at the rate you would like for it to, you may feel great anyway. If so, keep doing what you are doing and your body will slowly restore itself to health.
You made the choice to get fit, or eat better, maybe do both, so you can enjoy your body more, live with heightened levels of energy, find better rest at night, feel attractive again. Just do not give up. Hang in there and see it through.
As John Maxwell shares, "It's not about making one choice; everyone can make one choice. It's about managing that decision every day." Keep making that decision every day and you will reach your health and fitness goals.
