Weight loss can be a tricky business. It’s not as easy as simply doing the same things until the weight falls away. People don’t work that way, they get bored or frustrated or outside influences distract them. In some cases the weight loss plan itself becomes too taxing and starts to create stress which leads to an over eating meltdown or totally dropping the plan altogether. Add to these factors the natural ebbs and flows of our bodies, the fact that some weeks we’ll lose more weight than others simply because of how we are that week, and you begin to see why so my many struggle to lose weight.
The important thing to remember when you’re trying to shed those extra pounds is not to get bogged down in the complexities. Don’t let the little things get to you and remember to try and have fun with whatever you’re doing. It doesn’t matter how you do that, we’re all different and as such we’ll all find different things fun. I can’t tell you the best way to do that for you as there are things which I’d find enjoyable which you wouldn’t.
Eventually, in everyone’s experience of weight loss, you’re likely to meet the plateau. You’ll suddenly find yourself, successful in losing weight but not quite where you want to be. Your ability to lose weight will suddenly vanish and you’ll remain static. This could very easily because you’re approaching your target weight and as you do it becomes harder to lose weight.
The plateau can be easily countered by throwing one last burst of energy into your weight loss. Giving up would mean the ruination of all the time and effort you’d put into weight loss so far, so don’t. Try that little bit harder for that little bit longer and you’ll be delighted when you finally reach your goals.
