Don’t quit now.
Never give up, not just weight loss, anything you set your heart on, never stop. Sometimes things are hard, I’ll be the first to admit that but what do you ever gain by stopping? You should always follow your dreams. Remember the story of Alfred the Great, watching the spider building his web, if at first you don’t succeed, try and try again.
Your journey to a beautiful you, might not be a simple one. There may well be bumps in the road, there are on any journey. If you felt strongly enough about this to start, then you feel strongly enough about it to see it through. If you do slip up and believe me, I expect you to, just press reset. Don’t ever think to yourself, I’ve ruined it. No, you haven’t. The only time you’ve ever ruined it is if you stop completely.
Let’s try a little game here, if we’re finding it tough, let’s try something. I want you to list with a pen all the benefits of you losing weight. Now, on another piece of paper, I want you to list all the benefits of not losing weight. The choice, as always, is up to you. You just need to believe you’re worth the effort and you need to feel you can achieve it. Consider this for a moment, no football team ever won the League without a goal being scored against them. When they went one nil down, they didn’t leave the pitch, they didn’t give up.
I know it’s not always easy, I know there’s always temptation, I’ve been on the journey you’re now on, it never quite went to plan, but I got there in the end, just like you will. You know what will happen then? You’ll be giving this advice to your friends who need a little bit of guidance and a little bit of inspiration.
Key Takeaways:
1. Never give up on your weight loss journey, even when it gets tough;
2. If you slip up, simply reset and keep going. The only failure is in completely stopping; and
3. Believe in your worth and your ability to achieve your weight loss goals.
