A key to losing weight and keeping it off is practicing passionate patience

When most people looking to lose weight are checking out diets, their focus is on how much weight can they lose in a short period of time. How much how fast, how much how fast?

This thought process creates an anxiousness and expectation that almost guarantees failure. Frustration sets in quickly when the weight loss slows leading to most dieters giving up. They then begin looking for the next magic pill or fad diet.

On top of this, any good doctor will tell when you experience extremely fast weight loss, you are basically dehydrating yourself. That’s right, you are losing mostly water, not fat.

One of the keys to losing weight and keeping it off is practicing passionate patience. What I mean by that is you understand you are on a weight loss journey and you will experience ups and downs.

You have your end goal in mind but your focus is on the process. Instead of getting upset when things don’t go your way, you instead look at your progress with a sense of childlike wonder.

As you monitor your progress, you are excited about not only the physical weight loss change you are going through, but also the “mental muscles” you are also developing as your journey continues.

Without developing these mental muscles you have no chance at lasting weight loss. So start practicing passionate patience and enjoy the journey.

God bless.
