Keep going!There will be times when the scale doesn’t move…but changes are taking place.I’m using measurements & how clothing fits (no scale at home).I’m also seeing better sleep, reduced tummy grumbling, an urge to move more & less cravings.
Be patient & kind to yourself 😁❤
Weight loss is not linear and the scale will not always show what is going on within our body.
Just know that if you are eating less, eating healthier, and exercising, you are going in the right direction.
If seeing the scale stay the same, maybe don’t weigh yourself so often. I don’t weigh myself, at all, I know I am losing because of my clothes (and I know I’m eating less).
Yes, we get impatient but as they say, the time is going to pass, either way. Giving up will just put you right back where you were, having to start all over. Besides, this is something you will have to continue, in some way or another, for life, if you want to keep the weight off and be healthy. So, it’s not really about motivation (which is temporary and fleeting).
I try to remember that weight loss is only one of the reasons I’m doing IF. Health is another and very strong one. I try to find pros of doing IF. Today, I noticed that my fingernails seem stronger and well formed. Seems trivial, but every single thing counts. I’m not bloated, my tummy is in peace, my skin looks better, I can fit in one size smaller clothes, I feel better, lighter, happier, etcI know that if I want to be successful, it means IF is for a long haul for life. It’s a lifestyle.
