Most diet programs come with a time limit. Twelve-week, six-week, thirty-day, ten-day, even twenty –four hour quick fix programs are rampant in society today. The creators of such popular programs may not intend for it to feel like there’s a “time limit” But that’s what it feels like to you-the person attempting to lose weight in a specified time period decided upon by a complete stranger. Quick –fix programs train us to completely remodel our heath habits in a short period of time – getting our adrenaline pumping and creating that “do it all now” mindset. The immense pressure makes it all to easy to say, “I’m behind. Just forget the whole thing. I can’t do this.”
Take it one day at a time and one step at a time; work on small things that add up to make a big difference. There’s no rush. It’s a permanent shift in how you think, feel, and function in everyday life. It’s not going to happen overnight.
One thing my mom has told me (that comes from Dr Phil) is that we shouldn’t “diet” that is a short-term thing. What we need to do is make a permanent life change! Because when we do “diet” once that is over. Then what? We go back to our old ways.
As hard as it is healthy living is something you have to do twenty-four seven! You can’t just be healthy for a week, a few months, a year it is a constant thing we need to be working on. Which I hope to improve on!
