This is a common complaint amongst those who have undertaken diet and lifestyle changes. “I’m doing everything right and the number just isn’t dropping” or “No matter what I do, I’m just not losing weight”. I have heard it many time from friends who are in the same position I was in 9 months ago. Heck, I said it myself 100 times… “I’m eating right, I’m exercising, WTF; why am I not losing weight”. Its disheartening and frustrating. Michelle said it right and continues to tell me: “it took you 30+ years to put on the weight.. its not going to come off over night!”. She is so right.
You have to keep at it. Its not a “30 day miracle diet” or something you do for a week to fit into your skinny jeans. You are changing your life; it takes time for your body to adjust to not being a fat-guy(™). There will be ups and downs along the way. Just keep working at it, you will get there!
What strategies have you used to keep going?
