Trying to cut the weight can be an uphill task. The journey becomes quite hectic and frustrating due to the limitations it comes with.
The guilt for falling off the wagon is even worse. Moreover becomes quite restrictive because there are some horrid do’s and don’ts that fall along the lines of cheating on your diet or your sweet tooth.
All is not lost however because if you’ve been at it for a while, it becomes quite easy to catch inconsistencies in the journey thus making it quite easy to get out of the spiral.
Hastiness
Ever heard of the quote it is not a sprint but a marathon? That applies to this journey too. There has to be consistency and intentionality in the choices and changes made to see actual results. If you are in a hurry, then it becomes easy to fall off the wagon after two weeks of Keto, salads, or exercise.
To keep up the consistency, try and make the changes part of your lifestyle. That way, it becomes a little easy to not only lose but also sustain the ideal weight you have envisioned for yourself.
Self-sabotage
Negative talk and criticism are one of the worst if not the worst way to get you stuck in a loop of unproductive decisions. You need to be your biggest cheerleader in the progress to good health and a fit body.
Poor decision making
Choices are the route map to the goal. Hence if the weighing scale is not moving in the right direction, you may need to check the decisions you make. Are you skipping your workout sessions, are you snacking too much, and are you not eating enough? Time to do some soul searching and figure out what choices are slowing you down.
Poor planning
Like everything else in life, this too ought to be planned for. What are you looking to achieve and how do you plan on doing it? If you don’t define the map , you will probably end up lost and frustrated. Clearly outlining how the steps will be executed daily, weekly or monthly is essential for progress.
You could have everything figured out; the diet, exercise plan, and even a calorie deficiency plan and still not have the desired results. If you keep finding yourself in this situation, look at these several points and see what could be the source of the slack.
