It's a Marathon not a Sprint - Take It Easy
You don't have to take it as easy as this cat (though I love cats), but there will be times when you -
- fall off the wagon
- don't feel like moving
- are too hard on yourself
- are too soft on yourself
- don't think you look good
- don't feel well
- hurt yourself exercising
- expect to lose weight all at once
- hit a plateau
- can't see the light at the end of the tunnel
- feel like giving up
The main thing is to not beat yourself up and get back on track. Forgive yourself and move forward towards your goal. It took me a couple of years of trial and error to get right down to my goal weight. I lost a few kilos and then found a way to lose some more. It seems easier if you break it down in sections.
It's fine if you have an event coming up you want to lose weight for which motivates you. However don't be too down on yourself if you can't lose as much as you'd like by then. The main goal should be losing weight to not only look better but get healthy for life.
It's a marathon. Some times will be easy and some harder but if you stay committed you'll get there in the end. Once you get used to changing your lifestyle and habits it will become second nature and a breeze.
If you see any good cat pics or videos let me know.
