#5) “Adjust Your Expectations”

In this segment, the article’s author feeds us the old cliché, “That extra 100 pounds didn’t appear overnight and it’s not going to come off overnight, either.”  I don’t know about you, but as a person who’s looking at myself and knowing I have to lose 100 pounds, this is the opposite of motivation.  It’s irritating.  I know that 100 pounds doesn’t disappear overnight and I know it’s going to take, “a long time, a lot of hard work, and a lot of patience, blah blah blah.”  Yeah, I think we’ve all been lied to about this.  Just like every thing else related to weight loss, it’s all about HOW YOU THINK.  This kind of attitude will definitely hinder your progress because why would anyone want to be involved in any long, torturous, painful process?  They wouldn’t, and that’s what we’ve made weight loss out to be.  No wonder so many people are failing, they don’t want to spend their time being miserable.  My take on this old adage is this:  that extra 100 pounds didn’t appear overnight, but you’ll be shocked how quickly it will disappear when you eat more veggies and exercise every day.  Seriously, I felt like the weight was just dropping off me so fast, and so it did.
