Have you ever found yourself in a situation of nearly giving up on your fitness goals? Perhaps you have had the experience of stepping on the scale to find that it has not moved, in spite of all your hard work. That is a defining moment for many people: they have to make the choice of whether to keep working or to just give up.
Lots of people go ahead and give up. After all, if they are working that hard with no results, what is the point? But this is sad, because often they are just days away from a breakthrough and they will move off that plateau and continue seeing progress. But also, the number on the scale does not tell the whole story-you will eventually lose weight, but maybe not at the pace that you want.
Sometimes we need a little extra motivation to stay on track. Joining a weight loss competition is a great way to do this. But if you do not like competitions, you can use an online fitness tracker. Be sure to pay attention to your food intake as well. If you are trying to speed your weight loss by severely restricting calories, you may be working against yourself and keeping your body from dropping pounds.
If you are dropping inches and your clothes are fitting differently- let's use that as a measurable scale. Most importantly how do you FEEL? Often, even if the weight isn't coming off at the rate you would like for it to, you may feel great anyway. If so, keep doing what you are doing and your body will slowly restore itself to health.
You made the choice to get fit, or eat better, maybe do both, so you can enjoy your body more, live with heightened levels of energy, find better rest at night, feel attractive again. Just do not give up. Hang in there and see it through.
Remember that getting fit is more than making just one choice. You actually have to make lots of choices in the journey-every day you have to decide again and again to continue on the path to better health and greater fitness.
