“Permanent weight loss is the ultimate goal when you go on a diet. You want to reach your ideal weight and maintain it. The quality of patience is an important factor in long-term weight loss. Without it, you might find yourself making decisions that lead to short-term results but long-term disappointment.
A lack of patience often leads to shortsighted dieting decisions. One of the reasons that people go on extremely restrictive diets is the need to see instant results. The problem with this approach is that it often results in feelings of deprivation, pushing you to resume your old eating habits. In many cases, a diet that is extremely low in calories will give you little nutrition. This often leads to fatigue, nausea, headaches and other conditions, causing sub-par health.” – FitDay.com

The way to stay patient during the weight loss process is by setting a lot of mini goals, and non scale goals. Once you’re done with each mini goal, you celebrate. Don’t try to race to the finish line and don’t stress about the little slip ups. Take your time and focus on the positive. Be proud of yourself for doing this well so far and keep looking back to see how far you’ve come.
Happy Friday!
