4 TIPS ON How To Be Patient with Your Weight Loss Journey

 

If you have 25kg or more to lose, it can feel defeating before you even begin your weight loss journey. 

You feel so uncomfortable in your body right now, that it doesn't FEEL like the effort you're putting in is even putting a dent in how you look or feel.

Impatience comes when you are living between feeling pissed off about how much weight you've gained but also feeling defeated about how much weight you still have to lose.


But, if you give up because you get impatient, where does that lead you?

Right back to where you started, feeling fat and miserable, putting your life on hold because you think this weight loss thing is just too hard and you'll never be able to do it. The yo-yo diet body hate shame cycle just keeps on spinning.

Today, I'm sharing 4 ways you can practice patience with yourself in your weight loss journey.

It is tempting to fall for a shiny BS diet that promises super fast results with little to no effort because you’re so desperate to NOT feel like shit in your own skin.

The journey IS the goal.

The journey IS where the magic happens and where you learn how to change your life – not just how to lose weight.

How you get there is who you’ll be when you arrive.

Look at losing weight in 5kg goals and not the entire number at once.
