Constant Pressure
Ever since i started to lose weight, there has always been that certain pressure to do better and lose more than last week. Or to lose weight faster and definitley do not put the weight back on. Constant yo-yo.
It is not easy to overcome these pressures and in some way it is good to have them, to help you keep motivated and achieve your goal.
But sometimes you can get too caught up in all the pressures. I became rather grumpy a few months ago. I was seeing a natropath to help me lose weight, and each week I would get more and more uptight if I didnt lose any weight or if I put it on. I was weighing myself everyday, which made matters worse as your body tends to fluctuate from day to day.
How do you balance and deal with these pressures?
I found once I stopped seeing my natropath and not getting weighed each week, I relaxed a bit. I wasn’t so stressed and pressured into losing lots of weight.
Losing weight doesnt happen over night. Don’t get sucked into the pressures. If you put on weight one week, don’t fret, just try and increase your exercise and eat a little bit better than the week before, and that should help.
It is not a race. Take your time and enjoy the process of slowly achieving your goal weight.
