Its been a month and nothing has changed...
You’ve been getting a little edgy for the last week or so. Every day you look in the mirror and you can’t see a difference. You’re now weighing yourself 3 times each week and so far it’s give a little, take a little. One day you’re up a kilo, the next you’re down that same kilo.
This program you’ve started at the gym with your new PT? It obviously isn’t working. You know you’re doing it right – you’re training hard and your food intake has improved out of sight. You’re making better choices consistently.
“It isn’t working”, you tell yourself over and over again. The next few days you find yourself researching a new program, a new diet or a new trainer who you might approach...hoping they have the answers you're looking for.
Can you relate to this? Unfortunately, the weight loss industry does very little apart from ramming quick fixes and rapid weight-loss schemes down our throat and all it does is skew our expectations beyond what is realistic.
But don’t despair! If you change your outlook and focus more on what’s happening other than your desire to get in shape as fast as possible, you’ll start to pick up the signs...signs that you’re heading in the right direction.
Signs that you’re about to lose weight.

My main goal is to be happy with myself. I want to start looking at photos and not nitpick what I don’t like, or how I picture I will look and then be so much worse than I imagined. My goal is to get up in the morning and feel good about my outfit, how I look. I want to be able to order food at a restaurant and not worry about what people think, such as “wonder what the fat girl will get today”. I want to learn to love myself and my body, and stop punishing myself with hard work and bad food, just to give up in a matter of weeks.
