Anything that requires change can be difficult. Yet, in order to learn
and grow and make progress, you have to change.
Recognize that change is
difficult and move on to decide what is more important to you, losing weight or
continue to eat only the food that you like (no change).
Losing weight and
keeping it off is not very easy. But there are ways to make it easier. It is
still going to be hard work. There are no shortcuts. No temporary changes will
create permanent results. Which means you need to change your perspective. It
means you never get to be “done.”
The bottom line is always the same: to lose
weight, we must consume fewer calories than we burn. To keep it off, we must
adopt permanent lifestyle changes. Making a lifetime commitment is essential.
Truth, or more precisely, an accurate
understanding of reality is essential foundation for any good outcome. Radical
transparency is invaluable for rapid learning and effective change.
To
begin effective change, you must see the change as being a necessity. If the
change is just “nice to have”, it won’t be sustainable because anything “nice
to have” is also “ok not to have”. The stronger your desire for the change, the
more effective the change will be.
