It reminded me of where I was 10 years ago when I was 30 pounds over my ideal weight and 32% body fat. Back then the thought of having to wait around 6 months for 1 pound of weight loss per week was unbearable so like most people I caved in to the fad diets and an insane workout schedule. My quick fix mentality resulted in a not so quick weightloss of 30 pounds in 18 months.
Want to avoid making the same mistake? The quick tips below will help you identify a quick fix weight loss plan, accept where you are, and get going with something that will work much better.
On A Quick Fix Weightloss Plan?
Not many things worth having are quick and effortless so if your weightloss plan claims that you only need to do one thing to make it happen then you’re on a quick fix plan. The reality is that weightloss requires effort in many areas making weightloss a not so quick reality for most. Some people struggle with better food choices, others have more difficulty incorporating some form of regular exercise and some are completely overwhelmed with the emotional baggage that comes with losing weight. Many even struggle with all this and more. When you think about everything that needs to happen for your body to lose weight it’s kind of silly to think that one quick fix pill, gadget, or diet is going to take care of everything and magically make the weight disappear overnight without much effort on your part.
Acknowledge Your Weightloss Reality for Faster Results
The biggest issue for wannabe losers is they either become paralyzed by the effort it will take and do nothing or they go from quick fix to quick fix, hoping that something will finally work. The truth is that weightloss can happen faster and without added stress when you acknowledge where you are and you determine a realistic date by when you can expect to be at your ideal weight. Realistic being the key word. Not accepting your weightloss reality sets you up for failure after failure and it can become very costly and depressing too.
An Easier Way To Get Started & Keep Going
Once you accept where you are and start looking for solutions that address your unique needs, you must start living as if you’ve already achieved your goal. Living as if you’re already at your ideal weight flips a switch in your brain that leads to smarter choices and a less distractions. It puts you in lean person mode and thinking like a skinny person makes getting the work done more enjoyable and turns mistakes into lessons instead of failures.
