GIVING UP TO GIVE IN
You have been on a new meal and exercise plan for two weeks now and the numbers on the scale have not budged. Your ultimate goal of losing weight AS QUICKLY as possible isn't working out. You become frustrated and throw in the towel. You begin blaming things like your slow metabolism or the fact that your parents are over weight saying they are "big boned" and you are destined to forever stay the same. WITH AN ATTITUDE LIKE THAT I GUARANTEE YOU WILL NEVER CHANGE!!
EveryBODY if unique and different. Yes some people may have slow metabolisms if they have been on a diet too low in calories for their body or they are only eating 2-3 large meals a day. BUT this is something that can easily be fixed. When you begin eating small portions of lean protein, veggies and complex carbohydrates every 2-3 hours your metabolism heats up!! It may take longer than 2 weeks for your metabolism to adjust to this change and begin its new task- BE PATIENT!
Write yourself a meal plan and stick to it word word- if you are changing things around all the time how are you supposed to figure out what works?! I guarantee the diet you need to loose weight is night and day different from what your best friend would need. Through my training in metabolic typing I have learned just how unique and different every person is and one diet certainly does not fit all. If you are doing this on your own it is your job to figure out how your metabolism works best and what foods you should and shouldn't eat.
The worst possible thing you could do when your plan does not yield results is get depressed and begin binge eating whatever you please! If you want something bad enough you NEVER EVER GIVE UP! This change you are making needs to be for life it can't be a short term goal or else you will never maintain what you worked so hard for.
Do not throw in the towel because you are frustrated and wanting to eat all the foods you have been craving- KEEP GOING! Never give up in order to give in to those desires because those 2 minutes of deliciousness seem pretty minimal next to the end result you could achieve if you had of stuck to your plan.
Stop looking for the quick fix and start doing what needs to be done. It might take weeks, months or even years but I guarantee when you get there it will all be worth it.
