Choosing to focus in on what needs to be done and being consistent, has always been a stumbling block for many people, especially when it comes to weight loss.
Someone asked me to talk about this.
I am not sure if they wanted insight on weight loss or just some general information. I would be glad to share my perspectives on the subject.
I think I have a lot of experience when it relates to weight loss and staying focused. It's important to be consistent, as well. I think the latter is even more important. It's alright to indulge or get side tracked. The problems lies when someone remains in that perpetual rut and doesn't pull themselves up by their boot straps and get focused on the final outcome.
Does any of this sound familiar? How many times have you started a diet and health adventure on Monday morning and by Friday afternoon, you have veered off your path and gotten lost on your journey.
One way that I tackled this was to be more optimistic. Not be so down on myself if I wasn't going as fast as I thought I should be. An example of how I used to think was, I dieted, I exercised and then I would get on the scales, nothing! Not one ounce. That would send me into a tailspin. All bets were off. Let the munching begin! Now if that wasn't a deal breaker, I don't know what else it could be. I disappointed myself and everyone else that supported me. So, I began to realize that it didn't matter how fast I got there, just that I continued to move forward. It's kind of like taking a college exam. Would you just quit college simply because you failed one test? Probably not.
So, don't beat yourself up. Take it one step at a time, if necessary.
Step back for a minute and review, approach it at a different angle or new perspective if the current one is not working for you. Just never give up. Look at what you have accomplished. Learn from past mistakes, but don't dwell on them. You will never know how far you have come until you arrive.
I hope that helps the person that asked me to discuss this important topic and for others who are struggling, or who aren't quite sure how to react to or approach a bump in the road. That really is all that is keeping you from your success, a blimp on the screen of life. Just keep flying, apply your past obstacles to your current course. You can just make adjustments by moving around, through, over and past the roadblocks. Let me know if you need help. Last, but not least, don't fall asleep at the wheel. It's so easy to give up and give in. It's not going to help by becoming a passenger on your plane. Does that make sense? You can't depend on anyone else to be at your controls. You get to choose where your path goes. If you get lost, just
get the map out, find your route and keep moving. Let me know how you are doing and if you need some questions answered or a new flight plan.
