Do you ever find yourself pushing and pushing and obsessing over the scale because it's not moving? You begin to question why you even try. Is all your hard work for nothing? Then that moment comes - the moment of truth. Do you throw in the towel, or do you continue pushing forward?
The majority of people throw in the towel, and that's unfortunate because if they were to have just given it another day, that scale might have been their friend again. The moral of the story? Don't give up.If you know you're doing everything right, keep on doing it. Eventually, the weight is going to come off. You can't obsess over the number on the scale.
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.
Don't forget that you made the choice to start on this journey to better health and better fitness. You may have made this decision because you want to look better or maybe you just want to be able to play with your grandchildren. Just stay true to your goals and you will do fine.
Remember that it is not about just making one decision and letting that be the end of it. You must make decisions to be healthy all day every day. That is the key to sticking with your fitness plan and seeing success at the end!
