It Is OK To Fail Throughout Your Weight Loss Journey

During weight loss journeys, most people have the most ambition and fire in the beginning. They know that they want to lose weight and will do so by any means necessary. It seems so easy to start, and if you were anything like me, you watched a ton of Youtube videos of other peoples body transformation and used this as a way to motivate you. Everyone in those videos never usually talks about how hard it is to start losing weight again after you quit for a day, a week, a couple of weeks etcetera because those days will come eventually.

The easiest thing to do is quit on yourself. Staying consistent throughout this transformation will probably be the most challenging thing you have to do. It's not the exercising, the foods you have to eat, it will be trying to keep your head in the game. If you are someone looking for an easy way out to lose weight, which includes fad diets, quick and easy fat loss I'm here to tell you that they don't work. Even if it was to work it may not be long-lasting. I know this may seem harsh, but it was the same wake-up call for me. Since I've lost a significant amount of weight, I have realized that the only way to lose weight is in a healthy, controlled and slow way. Although progression may be slow, I know for a fact that the weight won't come back as quickly.

To whoever may be reading, It is entirely okay to have moments where you quit. What matters most is that you decide to keep going. Don't let a break in your journey stop you from continuing at all. If you do all you will say is " If I kept going I would be at my goal" or something along those lines. You have to remind yourself what the whole purpose of losing weight. Whether Whatever your reasons may be, never lose sight of that as you want to give up. It is possible, and you will reach your goal. That's all I will be telling myself.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.

Even Shonda Rhimes, winning creator and executive producer of the hit TV shows Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, and The Catch agrees that relationships with fictional characters are real. In her book, The Year of Yes she states, "I have spent more time with Meredith and Christina then many of my actual friends...When you watched TV, even spending a full hour with Christina once a week, you were likely spending more time with her then you spent with most people in your life. That relationship was real."

Going to the gym and working out on a daily basis (with breaks once in awhile) has been a great way for me to feel good about myself. It is 100% more than just looking good. Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.
